Just how bad are the Palestinians plans to murder all the Jews? In the first few days of Passover last week, Israel’s Defense Force prevented 10 suicide terror attacks and acted on another 63 credible reports of planned terror. All these planned terror attacks were targeting Israeli woman and children. With yesterday's massacre against Israeli civilians in a cafe, its apparent, that the Palestinians goals are genocide against woman and children. Israel in the last year has stopped thousands of Palestinian would be murderous attacks against innocent civilians.

IDF thwarts Passover holiday suicide attacks

Margot Dudkevitch Apr. 20, 2003

The security forces have arrested 10 would-be suicide bombers and their recruiters in the West Bank since the beginning of Pessah, thwarting a number of suicide bombings planned over the holiday.

The country was on high alert over the holiday after authorities received 62 warnings of planned terrorist attacks in Israel.

Twenty-nine Israelis were slain one year ago in a suicide bombing on Seder night at the Park Hotel in Netanya.

Meanwhile, the IDF launched an incursion into the Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday night. The IDF Spokesman said tanks, jeeps, and Givati Brigade infantry entered the area from three different directions as IAF combat helicopters flew overhead. Palestinians reported two killed.

The spokesman said the operation focuses on specific aims and would not necessitate the force remaining for days.

This year, security forces responded to the warning with a beefed-up presence in populated areas and armed guards posted at the entrances to synagogues; a general closure was imposed by the IDF in the West Bank and Gaza Strip on Wednesday for the duration of the holiday.

In Nablus, Palestinian cameraman Nazi Darouza, 41, was shot and killed by soldiers on Saturday as he filmed a crowd that had gathered around and thrown stones and firebombs at a tank that had stalled in the city. Palestinians reported that 18 people were wounded in the incident.

Armed Palestinians mingled in the crowd and also fired at the soldiers. The IDF Spokesman said armored vehicles were leaving the city after completing their operation to arrest a number of suicide bombers and their recruiters, when one of the tanks got stuck near the Old City. Palestinians began to surround the tank, some throwing firebombs and stones.

The soldiers responded by firing light weapons at the armed Palestinians, and Darouza was hit.

The IDF Spokesman noted that the entry of cameramen into a battle zone during the exchange of gunfire endangers both soldiers and the cameramen, who are responsible for exposing themselves to danger.

Security forces operating in Rafidiya in Nablus arrested Fada al-Hit, a woman who allegedly planned to perpetrate a suicide bombing, and her female recruiter, Raida Majidla, in the Ein Beit Ilma refugee camp. Both women are said to be affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

In Fara'a, north of Nablus, security forces arrested Yawisib Fahamawi, a member of Hamas who recruited potential suicide bombers.

West of the city, troops found three bags of fertilizer that can be combined with other chemicals to produce bombs.

East of Bethlehem near Abadiya, security forces arrested Jihad Halila, a Palestinian who is suspected of planning to perpetrate a suicide attack in Israel.

Would-be suicide bomber Amar Mabruk, 22, turned himself over to troops in Tulkarm on Saturday, two days after security forces arrested four members of the Islamic Jihad cell he was recruited by in the city. It was also a day after soldiers found the suitcase rigged with explosives for the attack he was to have carried out during the holiday.

Maon Abu Salem, Firusan Halifa, and Amin Iyanaim, who planned the attack, were arrested on Thursday, together with Manad Jinam a 32-year-old mother of six who was to have smuggled the suitcase into Israel for Mabruk.

Paratroopers found the suitcase, which was hidden in a cave under a pile of stones northeast of Tulkarm, on Friday. The case contained nitroglycerine and a large amount of bolts and screws. Sappers detonated the bomb.

An Israeli security guard was moderately wounded and two soldiers were lightly wounded by terrorist gunfire at the Shahak industrial zone near Shaked in northern Samaria on Saturday night.

The army said a terrorist opened fire at the guard, wounding him. Soldiers deployed to the scene exchanged fire with the terrorist, who lightly wounded two soldiers before being killed by troops.

On Thursday in Tulkarm, security forces arrested Hamas member Yusef Abu Salah, who officials said was also planning to perpetrate a suicide bombing during Pessah.
In other incidents over the weekend, sappers detonated two bombs on Route 60 south of the Beit Hagai intersection.

On Saturday night, sappers detonated a bomb near Kusin, west of Nablus.
In the Gaza Strip, an anti-tank rocket was fired harmlessly at soldiers near the northern Gaza Strip border fence. The soldiers returned fire.
