Gaza Strip – The father of a slain Hamas militant says Israeli officers raided his West Bank house three times in 2014 and 2015 to press his son to stop planning deadly attacks from Gaza.

Mohammed Faqha said Sunday that agents forced him to call his son Mazen and deliver the message. He said his son rejected the verbal threats as well as pleas from his family.
Mazen was found shot dead at the entrance of his Gaza house Friday. Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza, accused Israel of killing him, but provided no proof.
Israel had sentenced him to nine terms of life imprisonment for directing suicide bombings. He was freed along with more than 1,000 other Palestinian prisoners in exchange for a single Israeli soldier in 2011.
Glad he’s dead. May many other terrorists get killed, too.
I am just perplexed that this guy, with numerous acts of terror, was released. Perhaps he should have been returned to Gaza, Hamas, and his family, but very dead and in a body bag. Why was he permitted to survive? He was a high risk for repeating terror.
Oh, I know. It was pressure from some of the world’s greatest lovers of terror, Obama and Kerry. US sponsored.
still blaming Obama for everything, eh? when you gonna start blaming that blundering buffoon now In the white house? after his impeachment?
This has nothing to do with either Trump or Obama. The terrorist in question was released due to public pressure to bring Shalit home. Whether or not this was a good idea, or if they could have bargained for a better deal, is irrelevant. The fact is it was the Israeli government that released him.
The policy of Israel giving in to this blackmail and releasing many killers to kill many more people in return for a few bodies or for one live soldier must stop. How can we save one by killing many?
