Palestinian Clue

Four days of open clashes between Fatah and Hamas, and then, 3 masked gunmen approach a car and open fire; killing a Hamas activist in Hableh as he was leaving the mosque. The witnesses claim the car had Israeli plates, ergo, the gunmen had to be Israeli.

I realize that contrary to popular myth the Mossad, Shin Bet, and the IDF are not hiding under every rock or in every crevice waiting only for the moment to act in the Occupied Territories.

Reading the Israeli papers for these last few years it has become obvious that the Mossad, Shin Bet and the IDF are as prone to human foibles as the rest of us, but it stretches all reason to expect that an ‘elite Israeli unit’ would go to the trouble and bother to dress up as ‘masked Arab gunmen’ and not change the license plates on the car – as in it violates Stealth & Spook-craft 101.

Sorry, this one has all the earmarks of Pallywood production.
