Israel thwarts major Islamic Jihad missile attack against naval vessels

16

The naval plot “proves the true intentions of the terrorist organizations in Gaza, which are trying to disguise their murderous intentions by provocative actions against the security fence. Their sole purpose is to provide a cover under which terrorists can carry out attacks against Israel,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu is right. The international media has portrayed the recent massing of “Palestinians” on the Israeli border as a peaceful demonstration, but that is the same old predictable whitewash. The “Palestinians” have been conditioned by years of genocidal incitement and grievance-fabrication in the “Palestinian” media: they want war with Israel, and they want to kill every Jew they can and destroy the Jewish state completely. The “peaceful” demonstrators threw stones at the IDF and occasionally fired upon them, and while their “peaceful” demonstration was going on, this missile attack was being planned as well. It’s all of a piece, and the goal is always the same: to destroy Israel and kill Jews.

Security forces said on Wednesday they thwarted a potential missile attack by Islamic Jihad in Gaza against its naval forces that also included a plan to kidnap IDF soldiers.

The State Attorney’s Office indicted the alleged ringleader, Amin Saadi Muhammad Jumaa, in Beersheba District Court on Wednesday.

The IDF charged that this was the latest in a string of attacks by Islamic Jihad in Gaza against Israel, including the terror tunnel it had dug under the border that was discovered in October 2017.

Islamic Jihad had also fired mortars from Gaza into Israel last November and December, the IDF said.

The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) published information about the alleged terrorist plot now, during the first week of what is planned to be a six-week popular Gaza protest, called the “Great March of Return.” Starting last Friday, thousands of Palestinians in the Strip gathered by the Israeli border fence, some attempting to break through it.

The naval plot “proves the true intentions of the terrorist organizations in Gaza, which are trying to disguise their murderous intentions by provocative actions against the security fence. Their sole purpose is to provide a cover under which terrorists can carry out attacks against Israel,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman tweeted ironically that he hoped this time the Israeli Left would not demand an investigation into activities of the Shin Bet and the IDF in foiling the plot.

He added that Israeli citizens could depend on the army to thwart the complex challenges on the Gaza border.

The IDF released a video to the media that showed how on March 12, naval commandos boarded a Gaza fishing vessel from Rafah that had sailed beyond the permissible nautical distance. “Get on the floor and put your hands up,” the commandos told the 10 Palestinians, including Jumaa, before arresting them.

The Shin Bet said that during his interrogation, Jumaa, who was born in Gaza in 1994, confessed to a plot by which one Gazan fishing vessel would act as a decoy, forcing an Israel Navy ship to approach it.

At that moment Palestinians on board a second fishing boat would fire a Cornet shipto- ship rocket at the naval vessel.

Palestinians would then board that vessel from a third ship, so they could kidnap soldiers who survived the attack.

Islamic Jihad, with Jumaa’s help, had been gathering intelligence about the navy off the Gaza coast to prepare for the attack, the Shin Bet said….

Well killing them before subjecting them to an intense interrogation might be counterproductive. But I might rephrase your comment as follows:

Too bad they arrested only these filthy islamic terrorists!

I wonder how restrained the US would be if Mexico tried similar actions against the US- I suspect that,today, at least, the American response would trump the Israeli response.

I know damn well Teddy Roosevelt would not have put up with it!

Regardless of what lying underhanded Mexican officials say, get the National Guard there till the WALL is up and functional and keep some there after wards too.

Mexican OFFICIALS WANT to load us up with DRUGS, CRIMINALS etc. and ADMIT IT!

Watch, and more importantly LISTEN, to his words at 02:10 below (Prompted VIDEO):

This was the most politically explosive admission by the Mexican government in the past decade. Even Fareed Zakaria realized what was being threatened and quickly attempted to redirect the conversation.

Mr. Castaneda was openly admitting a willingness to promote drug trafficking. Additionally, Jorge Castaneda is so proud of the threat, he posted a video of the discussion on his own YouTube page.

Globalism will be the downfall of the freedom though it comes on as some naive new world all togetherness. In the end 99% will be equally diversely dominated dumb downs.

The mission would’ve failed. They don’t have the training/skills to accomplish this kind of operation. Had their plans not been thwarted, Israel could have fought this off and inflicted heavy damage in retaliation. Too bad.

F- pisslam.

As long as he heads Israel, the country is in good hands.

Do the Israelis mine their Gaza border? I ask as I wonder how keen the rock throwers would be if they knew that they had to cross a mine filed to throw.

There is a cure for piracy, there is nothing wrong with that batch a good keel hauling won’t cure. Use a rope made of pig intestines.

Keel hauling is always more fun when the hull is encrusted w/barnacles — it’s that added special touch that makes it magic!

As you know the sons of Ishmael have been CURSED into being a WILD MAN. No one is safe with a Moslem around. He is an unstable fellow and donkey ufcker.

Abraham brought a gift, but he also brought a CURSE on mankind. Our world is filled with irony. I can never explain it. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I look around.
