The Israelis captured and arrested a Hamas founder yesterday. Sheikh Muhammad Taha was nabbed yesterday as part of an IDF incursion in Gaza.
Interestingly enough, the army says that he wasn’t even the original target – the army was after his son, Ayman, who seems to have links to Hamas’s chief bomb maker. The army captured three of his other sons in the raid.
The part I find the most telling is that today’s Gazette contained a large photo of Taha – probably one of the worst terrorists and murderers of Israeli civilians anywhere – being tended to on a stretcher and taken to an Israeli hospital for treatment.
