Investigation into the Slaughter of Hatual Family [Murderers Videotaped Their Victims]

(IsraelNN.com) IDF officials continue to investigate yesterday’s terror attack on the Kissufim Road leading into Gush Katif that claimed the lives of Tali Hatual and her four children. They were gunned down in cold blood as they drove in their family vehicle.

Preliminary reports indicate that an army patrol vehicle passed the scene ahead of the Hatuals, and was even hit with gunfire. The two soldiers in the non-armored vehicle sustained light shrapnel injuries from the gunfire. The question being asked is why they did not stop and return fire, and engage the terrorists in a shootout as is the standard response. Instead, they continued traveling to the Kissufim Checkpoint. The preliminary response appears to be they were injured in their hands and therefore, were unable to return fire. It was also learned that the terrorists not only murdered the 34-year-old mother of four who was eight months pregnant along with her children, but then ran up to the vehicle and took a video of the results of their actions, filming the young victims as they bled to death.

IDF officials indicate the investigation into the attack continues to determine if the soldiers and officers involved responded appropriately.

"but then ran up to the vehicle and took a video of the results of their actions, filming the young victims as they bled to death."

These sub-human pigs are exactly why napalm and nerve gas were created. Either a) tactical nuke them and all of the Arab world, or b) let Israel do what they must, and give them EVERYTHING they need to do it ($$, guns, or effort)

These F'ing savages. I just became a hater of all arabs, here or abroad. *spit on floor*

id you hear/see the report that a CNN camera crew was nearby, and saw the ambush being prepared? Supposedly they tried to warn the family, but were unsuccessful. Tome, it soudns like maybe the CNN crew was filmingn the terrorists, and things got "out of hand", as they say..

This is SOP for muzzie (disrespect intended)terrorists (not only in Palestine); therefore; it will get no more than passing mention in the world press. The Falluja outrage (contractor murders and corpse desecrations)is already receding in the collective memory. The arab lie sites hardly mentioned it or justified the atrocity. The notoriety and repetition of the "US Army prison abuse story" is evidence that it is an anomaly. Our enemies must make the most of it while they can. And as they say in the news biz, it will have legs. Unfortunately, the Demonrats, never ones to put country before political gain, will also pile on.

They are way too busy moaning about the humiliation of Iraqi prisoners who had been trying to kill people bringing them medical supplies.

Amen. It is an obligation.

This proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that we are dealing with sub-human animals.

Hopefully soon. Let the world see the handiwork of these "freedom fighters" and decide if they want to be on their side.

Far too many of those who support evil claim ignorance of it. Let those who choose the path of darkness know the path they walk.

File this for reference the next time some CNN cameraman gets fragged by an IDF tank.

More details on yesterday's massacre of the five members of the Hatuel family are now known. Two terrorists from Dir el-Balah, the Arab village closest to Kfar Darom and the Kisufim route to Gush Katif, lay in wait around noon for Jewish cars to arrive. They then opened fire with their Kalachnikov rifles on the cars passing by - the first of which were two armored vans belonging to a CNN news team. No one was hurt, but producer Mike Schwartz realized that a terrorist attack was in progress, and instructed the cars to drive forward and then park in the middle of the road. He thus prevented additional cars from falling into the ambush trap.

Though Schwartz heroically saved the lives of those in some ten cars behind him, he couldn't help the Hatuel family, who was already on its way into the trap. The terrorists shot at the car carrying the mother and her four daughters, and when the vehicle veered off the side of the road, the terrorists performed "ascertainment of death:" they ran over to the car and, at point-blank range, shot each of the occupants to death: Tali, the 8-month pregnant mother, and Hila, 11, Hadar, 9, Roni, 7, and two-year-old Meirav. The murderers then continued to unload dozens of more bullets into the bodies. Zaka volunteers worked for a long while afterwards to collect the body parts from the car and its vicinity.

It is possible that the terrorists evaded detection by first shooting at nearby IDF outposts, thus causing the surveillance cameras to be momentarily directed away from the road. The murderers took advantage of the moment to run up to the road and take up their positions. In addition to shooting at the cars, the murderers also threw a small bomb at the vehicles. IDF forces who did arrive on the scene shot and killed the two terrorists. Two lightly-wounded soldiers and one moderately-wounded civilian were flown to Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva.

Hamas, one of the terrorist groups that took responsibility for the attack, said afterwards that just as the Jews of Gush Katif are about to be expelled from their homes because of the Arab resistance, so too will all the Jews of Judea and Samaria be expelled from their homes. Other Hamas figures have said in the past that their goal is to uproot and destroy the entire State of Israel.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Yaalon, who arrived at the scene of the attack this morning, made it plain where he places the blame: The Supreme Court. He said that lining the Kisufim Route are "houses that, for security reason, we wanted to remove, and pay the occupants compensation. But the legal system did not allow us to do this." The homes served as camouflage for the terrorists and their actions. As of last night, however, this is no longer true: the army did not ask anyone and destroyed 13 houses in the region, as well as three more in the Rafiach area. Four of these were houses that the Court previously ruled could not be destroyed, and two of them were houses that helped hide yesterday's terrorists.

What else can you do with animals like these other than exterminate them? I hope a day of reckoning is coming. Prayers for the mother and her children.

Reward them with their own state in the interests of stabilizing the middle east. :<(
