IDF KILLS TERRORIST WORKING WITH BRITISH "ACTIVIST"

IDF kills Jihad fugitive in Nablus (Jerusalem Post)
The IDF continued its crackdown on Islamic Jihad Thursday, killing one senior terrorist leader in Nablus and arresting at least 10 others across the West Bank. The army identified the slain fugitive as Muhammad Aassi, 28, a long-time Islamic Jihad terrorist leader active in the Balata refugee camp. Military sources said he was directly linked with Tuesday's bombing in Netanya that killed five Israelis.

Foreign reports said Aassi was killed as he met with a woman identified as a British journalist. The IDF flatly denied this, saying she was a known activist who harbored terrorists.
