Hamas mega-terrorist is killed in IDF raid

JERUSALEM (JPS) -- A leading Hamas terrorist who had allegedly been planning "a mega attack" in Israel was killed in an IDF raid on his hiding place in Tubas village in the West Bank Wednesday.

The terrorist, Nasser Jarrar, 44, had been on the wanted list for a long time but had managed to evade capture despite being crippled by an explosive device he had once been preparing.

He allegedly had been planning a series of simultaneous attacks, as well as a mega-attack that would have led to the destruction of a multi-story building inside Israel.

According to reports, this information was gleaned from the interrogation of other Hamas terrorists captured by the security forces.
