The head of the Hamas military wing in the West Bank city of Hebron, Imad Kawasme, surrendered to the Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday morning when troops surrounded his safe house in an arrest raid.
Kawasme is suspected of dispatching two suicide bombers who carried out the August 31 terror attack in the southern city of Be'er Sheva in which 16 people were killed and 100 others wounded.
The surrender of a member of the Hamas military wing, Iz a Din al-Kassam, is quite a rare occurrence, as the organization's militants in Hebron and Nablus have in the past two years preferred a fight to the death.
Soldiers from the elite Golani unit surrounded Kawasma's safe house in Hebron, called for him to turn himself in and opened fire.
Kawasme emerged from the safe house carrying a white flag and surrendered. There were no injuries in the raid.

I think they told him to come out that way so to make sure he was not wearing a suicide vest and would blow up around IDF troops when he came out.

It's a good thing he IS wearing a diaper - by the looks of it, the poor terrorist lost control of some of his bodily functions.

Heh...heh... :-) .nothing quite like being marched from your hiding place in just your undies by the IDF.
I'll bet once they're off camera, this fellow will sing for them like a little yellow canary. :-)

I think the Israelis should chip in and buy him one of those special cell phones they've given to terrorists in the past.
