Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Fatah intel officer, policeman identified as killers of two Israeli soldiers

Jan 1, 2008 5:30 pm By Marisol Seibold

“[Ali] Dandis worked as a clerk at the Sharia courts in Hebron. Both are residents of the West Bank city, security officials said. They noted that Friday’s attack was not the first time that Palestinian security officials or policemen were involved in terror attacks. Last month, Ido Zoldan was gunned down in the West Bank by Palestinian terrorists that turned out to be members of the PA security forces.”

Act of war. Imagine the outrage if Israeli soldiers had killed two Fatah men under the same circumstances; indeed, there is an appalling double standard, but it also underscores the fact that the forces of any legitimate state are expected to conduct themselves with order and discipline. (Then again, it also begs the question: were they following orders?) Is “Palestine,” in any form, at any point in time, to be exempt from that expectation? “‘Killers were from Fatah, one was Palestinian police’,” by Yaakov Katz for the Jerusalem Post:

As first published in The Jerusalem Post on Sunday , one of the terrorists who killed two Israeli hikers on Friday near Hebron is a policeman in the Palestinian National Security Force, and the other is a known Fatah operative and a close associate of the Palestinian Intelligence Service, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Service) revealed Tuesday night.

According to details of the murder of off-duty soldiers and nature enthusiasts David Rubin and Ahikam Amihai, the gunmen, Ali Dandis, 24, and Amar Taha, 26, surrendered on the day of the attack to the Palestinian security forces in Hebron out of fear that they would be caught by the IDF. They also handed over the weapons they captured from the hikers.

Dandis worked as a clerk at the Sharia courts in Hebron. Both are residents of the West Bank city, security officials said. They noted that Friday’s attack was not the first time that Palestinian security officials or policemen were involved in terror attacks. Last month, Ido Zoldan was gunned down in the West Bank by Palestinian terrorists that turned out to be members of the PA security forces.

Gee, a clerk at the Sharia courts should know better than to misunderstand his religion like that and go after off-duty Israelis enjoying a hike. But for all these misunderstandings, shouldn’t CAIR put out a pamphlet or something by now? “How Not To Misunderstand Your Islamic Religion?” Anybody? Hooper?

The PA did not report the surrendering of the terrorists, the Shin Bet said. After learning of their surrender, the security agency transferred a request to the PA asking that they transfer to Israel the murder weapons and the weapons of those who were murdered. In response to the demand, PA officials confirmed that the two had surrendered and were being
interrogated.

All of the weapons were transferred to Israel on Saturday.

Security officials said the attack was premeditated and its goal was to kill the hikers and steal their weapons. Security officials said that declarations in the media by Palestinian officials to the effect that the incident was of a criminal nature were in direct contradiction to the findings on the scene, as well as to the confessions of the terrorists
themselves.

The declarations, they said, were likely intended by the PA to skirt responsibility for the incident, particularly because the terrorists were Fatah operatives and members of the PA security forces.
