Good news (via Meryl Yourish): IDF soldiers have taken out the commander of the Hamas military wing in Hebron, an experienced mass murderer known as “the Engineer-4.”
Muhaned Taher, who is considered the most senior West Bank militant wanted by Israel, was assassinated Sunday evening by IDF troops in Nablus. Taher was commander of the Hamas military wing in the Hebron area.
A second Hamas member, Imad Draoza, was also killed and another was injured and arrested.
Palestinians said Taher, known as “the Engineer-4”, as topping Israel’s most wanted list.
According to preliminary reports, the three were shot by elite IDF soldiers who surrounded his home. A security source said that they had intended to kill just Taher, but an exchange of gunfire broke out, which led to the other Palestinians being shot.
The security establishment believes that Taher, 26, played a central role in several terror attacks, in which at least 107 Israelis were killed. Among them, Taher is suspected of being responsible for the suicide bombing of an Egged bus in Jerusalem about two weeks ago in which 19 Israelis were killed.
