The three men killed Saturday were identified as members of Fatah’s violent Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a group that carried out many shootings during the second Palestinian uprising, which erupted in 2000. The deputy governor of Nablus, Anan Attireh, said one of the men — Anan Subeh — had been accepted in Israel’s amnesty program for Fatah gunmen, while two others, Ghassan Abu Sharah and Raed Suragji, were still on Israel’s wanted list.

In the bizarre and twisted age of the Obamessiah, where bad is good, up is down, right is wrong and Islam is our friend, eliminating Islamic terrorists needs to be explained:
After Palestine Today called the terror attack which resulted in the killing of Rabbi Meir Avshalom Hai a “heroic operation” IDF undercover commando’s moved swiftly and eliminated 3 Fatah terrorists.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday that the Israel Defense Forces would respond to every assault on Israelis, one day after undercover commandos killed three Fatah militants behind a terror attack last week, an operation which prompted a request for clarification from the White House.
“We’ll continue to defend aggressively and respond to every attack against Israeli citizens and every rocket strike,” the prime minister said. Haaretz.com

Here’s what happens when Islamic terrorists are released:
The Tragic Result of Freed Terrorists
Raed Sarkaji, one of Fatah’s Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades members responsible for the cold-blooded murder of Rabbi Meir Chai HY”D, was killed by IDF troops during a daring anti-terroristoperation in Shechem yesterday. The terrorist leader had been interred in an Israeli prisoner until January 2009. Sarkaji took almost no time in returning to terrorism, the very activity for which he was arrested in the first place.
Anan Sabeh, Sarkaji’s accomplice whose rifle was found to be compatible with the bullet shells found at the scene of Rabbi Chai’s murder, had also been released from an Israeli prison as part of the amnesty deal with the Palestinian Authority in 2007, in which Israel agreed not to hunt down Palestinian gunmen who agreed to lay down their arms.
Until Rabbi Chai was murdered, I had expressed my support for the release of terrorists in a deal to gain the freedom of Gilead Shalit. Reality has painfully shown that releasing such terrorists is worse than folly – it costs us more blood. My desire to see Gilead Shalit come home soon simply overcome my better judgment. Stark reality proved me wrong. As much as we want Gilead home, we can’t look into the eyes of any more orphans while advocating the release of terrorists.
Just today, I heard something unbelievably courageous: The highest echelons in Israel wanted to engineer a swap with the USA and the PA – Marwan Barghouti’s freedom for Jonathan Pollard. Jonathan heard about it, and despite 25 years of indescribable anguish in prison, he refused to be a side in any deal that sets him free if a single terrorist will be freed as well.
May Hashem free all our prisoners in His own miraculous way! As for us, we have to beef up our prayers for Yehonatan ben Malka and Gilead ben Aviva.

The Israeli government made a fatal mistake when they agreed to release terrorists, just as they will if they release terrorists for Gilad Shalit.
If only the world resolved never to do deals with the devil – whether Hamas or Fatah terrorists, Somali pirate terrorists or any other (invariably Islamic) terrorist, we would all be much safer.
