Note: This report makes sad reading. The attraction of brain dead policies like suicide bombings to Palestinian muslims is a mystery to intelligent people. It was this policy that led directly to the enormous and very regrettable concrete wall that now seperates Israel and Palestine.
The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing but expect a different outcome.
Read on with a heavy heart...
Thwarted Palestinian terrorist organizations attempts to perpetrate suicide bombing attacks and abduct Israelis during the war in Lebanon; some of these attempts were directed by Hezbollah with the purpose of opening yet another front in Israel 1
Overview
1. In the course of the war against Hezbollah in Lebanon , the Israeli security forces thwarted suicide bombing attacks and attempts to abduct soldiers and civilians to negotiate the release of Palestinian prisoners. Some of these terrorist attacks were thwarted shortly before their planned execution.
2. The thwarted terrorist attacks were planned by the terrorist organizations' cells in Gaza and the West Bank, the most prominent being the Fatah's Tanzim cell in Nablus . Some of them (including the Fatah cell in Nablus ) are directed by Hezbollah, which instructed terrorist infrastructures in the West Bank to intensify their activity during the war in Lebanon and perpetrate suicide bombing attacks and abductions so as to open another front against Israel .
3. During the war, the Israeli security forces thwarted nine abduction and suicide bombing attacks on the verge of implementation (see details below). Also thwarted or disrupted were over twenty attack plans in various stages of development. Detained within the context of the counter-terrorism activities were 396 terrorist operatives, including 12 potential suicide bombers detained before embarking on their missions. The detainees belong to Fatah's Tanzim (177), to Hamas (76), to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (62), and to other terrorist organizations.

His dispatchers attempted to secure a fake medical pass for him but met with no success. Ultimately, he was able to cross the border to Egypt on the day the crossing was opened for humanitarian needs (in order to provide those Palestinians “stuck” on the Egyptian side with a possibility to return).

Comment: It is no wonder that Australia has a bi-partisan policy of full support for Israel when all the Palestinians can do is endlessly repeat the stupidities of suicide bombing. Who could possibly support this deranged behaviour?
Is anyone awake in Ramallah?
