Nearly ignored by mainstream media, Israel has quietly been eliminating many of the leaders of the Palestinian terror gangs: ‘Settling accounts,’ IDF kills Al Aksa chief in Nablus.

IDF forces operating in Nablus early Thursday morning gunned down Fadi Kafisha, 29, commander of Fatah’s Al Aksa Martyrs’ Brigades in the northern West Bank city and a “terrorist mastermind” who military officials said was financed and directed by Hizbullah.

“He was a motor of terrorism,” said commander of the the Shomron Brigade Col. Amir Braum of Kafisha. “He was the chief fugitive in Nablus, an explosives expert and responsible for many attacks, among them the attack at Jerusalem’s French Hill in September 2004.”
