Israel Uses Matchboxes to Intimidate

Israel trying to incite Palestinians against Hamas with sweeping raids

Israeli occupation forces distributed huge quantities of matchboxes at the entrances of mosques and houses in the West Bank city of Nablus in an effort to intimidate residents. Written on the matchbox is a warning: “Hamas is putting the West Bank in flames”. Israel has been on a rampage in the West Bank in recent weeks, supposedly in an effort to look for three kidnapped Israelis. However, observers believe occupation forces are clearly using the kidnappings as an excuse to incite Palestinians against Hamas.

Meanwhile, an elderly woman was declared dead in Al Aroub Refugee Camp near Hebron when Israeli forces raided the camp and searched the house of 78-year-old Fatimah Esmail Rushdi who suffered a heart attack from being terrified. The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) declared the woman a martyr.

Meanwhile, 24-year-old Mustafa Husni Aslan from Qalandya Refugee Camp was also declared dead at the Hadasa Ain Karem Hospital in Israel. The Palestinian youth suffered a serious a injury in the head during last Friday clashes with the Israeli forces on the Qalandya Crossing. Sources in Ramallah told Gulf News that the martyr was targeted by the Israeli soldiers from a very short distance with live fire in the head. The sources said that it was not possible to provide the victim with the necessary treatment in the West Bank where the Israelis took him inside Israel for treatment.

That sounds like a good idea and a warning that those people should pay attention to, if they want to have a peaceful and long life!

Nasouh Nazzal sounds heartbroken that Hamas is being pointed out as aggressors.
How much is Hamas paying them?

I sort of question the wisdom of providing them with anything more than a burnt out match in the first place.

As long as it’s not too close to me, who cares? I smell an ash tray from across the room and it makes me want to start up again.
