- From ADC Times, Vol. 13, No. 4, p2, June 1992:
-
- Report Documents Activities of Israeli "Death Squads".
-
- On March 22, 1992, four undercover soldiers wearing black jackets and
- jeans walked across a munic9ipal soccer field in Tulkarm (occupied
- West Bank) while a soccer game was in progress. The four men
- stopped 10 meters from Jamal Ghanem, wo according to eyewitnesses saw the
- men, raised his arms in surrender, and hid behind a referee,
- and without warning the undercover soldiers shot him. Ten military
- jeeps arrived minutes later and took Jamal's body away."
-
- This was one of 24 cases of summary executions by the Israeli
- military of Palestinian civilians from January-April 1992, reported
- Louise Cainkar, Executive Director of the Palestine Human Rights
- Information Center, who added that the rate of such executions
- has already doubled since 1991.
-
- A recent CNN International Hour expose on Israeli undercover units
- was shown at a press conference at the National Press Club, and
- Cainkar outlined the history of Israeli undercover units, called
- Mista'rivim [literally, "Arab-pretenders"] in Hebrew, which
- date back to 1942 when teh Palmach used them to infiltrate Arab
- towns and countries.
