'200 suicide bombers await the Merkava tank'-HAMAS

'200 suicide bombers await the Merkava'

By JPOST.COM STAFF

200 female suicide bombers are awaiting the Merkava tanks, Hamas senior Dr. Nizar Rian told the Kuweiti Al Jareeda Friday.

Hamas says Israel will pay a heavy price Rian also said his organization had more than 50,000 armed fighters, who were endowed with "courage and are able to fight in the relevant territory."

Reportedly, Rian was appointed commander of Hamas's military units whose mission is to beat back an expected Israeli ground incursion into the Gaza Strip.

"They sleep and walk about armed with explosives, ready to attack Israeli tanks and to prevent them from progressing," Rian said. Women, he added, were not a new addition to the terrorist group's arsenal. Women were sent in the past to hit the "heart of the Israeli occupier's home" and while some Palestinians were against the use of women in combat roles, "the duty to guard the motherland is more important than any other priority."

Rian was also subtly critical of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's condemnation of incessant Kassam rocket fire on Israeli towns.

"One cannot say that our simple rockets, which constitute a proper arsenal of weaponry in the world of warfare, are, as some politicians who take Jihad likely say, fireworks. Where are our weapons compared to the Zionist's sophisticated weapons? But where are the cowardly Zionists when compared to our brave warriors?" he asked rhetorically in the interview.

Ya know, thats a good reason for rolling bombardments. Or to machinegun anybody who approaches you in the combat area.

The word "Muslims" and "courage" do not belong in the same sentence.

"OWNED" ...

At that range, the gunner could fire a blank, and kill the bad guy.

Running over somebody wearing a bomb belt might not be a good idea, though it would make great footage for the enemy media (which is just about all of ‘em...).

Replace courage with suicidal tendencies-the 2 are used interchangeably anyway.

Urban, combined arms tactics will be practiced and rehearsed before action starts. There will be coverage for armor from infantry and artillery. Movement thru “hot spots” may include friendly VT coverage to suppress such threats if they are real. If ATGMs are the real threat there will be lots of smoke. Tactics are tactics and the Israelis will not be caught as unprepared as they were in the summer of ‘06.

So is this an upgraded version of the booby trapped donkeys they promised to use in the last conflict?

Yeah, thats right. Islam loves women and children. Maybe they are running out of virgins in uncle mo’s harem of the dead for the infidel slayers.

But where are the cowardly Zionists when compared to our brave warriors?

Here's a clue. The cowardly Zionists are not hiding behind their own grandmothers.

I guess journalists at the Jerusalem Post are being trained at American journalism schools. Otherwise they would know that the interviewee said "lightly," not "likely."
