Gaza Jihad: Weather Foiled Israeli Soldier's Capture


Almanar

23/01/2010 Sources in the al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad's military wing, told Ynet Saturday that the recent week's stormy weather foiled their plans to capture an Israeli occupation soldier.

According to sources in the organization, a recent attempt to capture an Israeli soldier in central Gaza failed due to unfavorable weather conditions.

The soldier who was allegedly spared is an Israel Air Force paratrooper who accidently landed in the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Jihad operatives en route to the landing site were unable to reach it due to floods caused by the absence of a dam which use to stand in the area, and was destroyed in a past IAF strike.

The Islamic Jihad says it haa video footage of the attempted abduction, "Which will be aired in due time."

The failed capture, added a Jihad source, "Is part of our efforts to kidnap Israeli soldiers and exchange them for our imprisoned heroes."
