Muhammad Shahade, an Islamic Jihad operative who Palestinian sources say was behind the terror attack in Mercaz Harav yeshiva in Jerusalem last week, has been killed by IDF forces in Bethlehem Wednesday afternoon, local witnesses reported.
According to reports, another three militants have been killed in the raid, one of them an al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades member.
Military sources said that the four men were responsible for a series of terror attacks against Israel in the years 2000-2001, but did not attribute the Jerusalem attack to Shahade.
Shahade, a former Fatah member and an Islamic Jihad operative, has been known to have extensive ties with Hizbullah.
As good as it is to see these bad guys getting rounded up, attacks on Israel will continue because Palestinians appear to support terror attacks against Israel. I've said before that "peace talks" between Israel and the Palestinians are a waste of time as long as the Palestinians support terror.
