Yesterday evening a member of Izzedeen El-Qassam Battalions was killed by an explosion. He was identified as Ahmad Abu El-Oun. Yes, but was it a "mysterious" explosion... PCHR’s preliminary investigation indicates that at approximately 19:00 on Wednesday, 5 December 2007, the body of a member of Izzedeen El-Qassam Battalions, the armed wing of Hamas, was brought to Shifa Hospital. The dismembered body was identified as that of Ahmad Hassan Abu El-Oun (23) from Sheja’eya Quarter in Gaza City. He was killed by the premature explosion of a bomb he was planting to the east of Sheja’eya Quarter. Hmmmmm...I guess it wasn't "mysterious". File another workman's comp claim with Mutual of Gaza ... PCHR is concerned by the continued falling of victims by the misuse of weapons. The Centre calls upon the Palestinian National Authority to take the necessary steps to prevent the recurrence of these incidents. Better terrorist training maybe? Yesterday morning unknown gunmen kidnapped Maher Hassouna from Gaza City. His body was later found in the area of the evacuated settlements in Khan Yunis. ...the Jersey Pine Barrens of Gaza ... ... under the goalposts of the soccer stadium ... PCHR’s preliminary investigation indicates that at approximately 15:00 on Tuesday, 4 December 2007, shots were heard in the land previously occupied by the settlement of Nitzar Hazani. Several people investigated the area of the shooting. They found a body with gunshot marks and the eyes bound. In addition, they saw a black jeep leaving the area. The people who found the body contacted the police, who arrived and took the body to Naser Hospital in Khan Yunis. It was then transferred to the forensic department at Shifa Hospital in Gaza, where the body was identified as that of Maher Mohammad Ahmad Hassouna (46) from Gaza City. He was the owner of Hassouna Accounting Firm. He was killed by 6 bullets to the head and chest. The police found a note reading “we are from several families, and have executed Hassouna for violating honor.” In most places, this would be considered evidence. In Gaza, it's considered an alibi... It is noted that masked gunmen kidnapped Hassouna from Naser Quarter in Gaza City at 11:30 on the same day. So I guess ya could see it coming... The police announced opening an investigation into the crime. But seeing how it was an "honor" thing, they'll probably dig him up and shoot him again...
