If this were a cleric of any other faith and his intended victims had not been Jews, this would be a news story for weeks. But no one will take any particular notice of this.
“Terrorist imam shot dead while firing at Hebron Jewish community,” by David Isaac, JNS, March 17, 2024:
Israeli forces killed a Hebron imam on Saturday after he opened fire on the city’s Jewish neighborhood with an automatic rifle.
No Israeli casualties were reported.
Mahmoud Nofal was captured on video as he fired toward the city’s Jewish neighborhood from a cemetery in the Abu Sanina neighborhood.
IDF forces reacted quickly, neutralizing the terrorist and carrying out an extensive search to ensure he had acted alone.
Maj. Israel, company commander of the Israel Defense Forces’ 92nd Brigade, said that around noon on Saturday his forces had responded after hearing a burst of gunfire. His forces flanked the terrorist from the left and right and neutralized him.
“We understood afterwards that only one terrorist was involved. Thank God no one was hurt,” he said.
The terrorist had served as imam of Hebron’s Al-Qassam Mosque, and was a known Hamas activist.
According to Religious Zionism Party Knesset member Orit Strook, a resident of the Hebron, Nofal was not shooting randomly.
“This damned terrorist…did not fire ‘against the settlement in Hebron.’ He shot from point-blank range at two children, who walked innocently on the only street allowed for Jewish movement in Hebron.
“I will bring my neighbor’s soccer ball—a 5th grade student—to the Cabinet meeting tomorrow,” she said. “The ball took a bullet instead of the boy, who was saved by God’s grace.”…

I don’t know how anybody with a rifle can miss at “point blank range,” which in my book is anything under 100 yards. My guess is that the terrorist of Allah had never fired a rifle before and either didn’t use the sights or they were WAY off zeroed-in. All’s well that ends well. One less imam, and the two kids seem to be in good spirits after the attempted murder. Kick those Muslims out far away from any Israelis.
Muslim labor is not worth an attack on Jewish Israelis. Indian laborers are very willing to travel to Israel to work. They are diligent and generally peaceful, and they appreciate the opportunity to make some money, which they do not have back in India.
And by the way, no doubt the imam was just following the teachings of the Koran and the Hadiths.
Transmaster says
It is Indian workers who replaced the untrustworthy Palestinians working in the Gulf countries. After the invasion of Kuwait which Yasser Arafat endorsed that got them all booted out.
Kosh's Shadow says
And India has moved from socialism to Hindu nationalism and has become much more supportive of Israel. They both have the same enemy – Muslims
Mike says
How about Indian Muslims though? What percentage of them are patriotic and pluralistic, and what percentage are Islamist or somewhat supremacist in terms of their faith?
SC says
Time to take out the trash. ALLof the trash. If they try to return then give them one chance to leave.
Ray Jarman says
The Israelis should have simply poured gasoline on the terrorist and throw a match. After all, this piece of fecal matter was already in a cemetery, why bother with a funeral?
Angeli says
Scum like that fecal matter isn’t worthy of a funeral. The good news however is, it’s one less piece of ‘human’ fecal matter in the world. Am Yisael C’hai 🙏🙏 🇮🇱

A little information on Hebron….and none of it mozlum-ruled
“Hebron is listed fifty times in the OT, and five times its earlier name of Kirjath-Arba’ (tetrapolis) is given.
Abram moved to Hebron after the parting from Lot (Gen 13:18) when Mamre was known as part of Hebron, the latter being the Biblical author’s identification of the place by the later name. Abram built the first altar there to Jahweh. Mamre was named at this time after Mamre the Amorite (Gen 14:13) in league with Abram. In his ninety-ninth year, Yahweh appeared to him in Mamre (18:1ff.) with the two angels.
In the days of the Exodus, spies were sent into the land and from the brook Eschol in Hebron took back the wondrous grapes on a staff (Num 13:22-24). For his valor and constancy (cf. Josh 14:9), Caleb was given the area of Hebron (14:13), but the city became a city of refuge. To Hebron, Samson carried off the gates of Gaza (Judg 16:3).
David settled in Hebron after the death of Saul (2 Sam 2:1) and from there ruled over Judah for seven and a half years before being anointed king over all Israel ”
there is a heck-of-a-lot more on that ancient place….and none of it mozlum ruled.
That tells me (if I hadn’t already known) that the partial sentence copied and pasted from the report of the intended murder of Israeli children is so ***very wrong.**** Those kids and their families should be allowed on any street in Hebron.

Nice , their tombs (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) are there I think…
somehistory says
Yes, it began with Abraham burying Sarah there.
somehistory says
And no tears for the murderous scum. As a member of hamas, he should already have been given the deep six, long dirt nap.
Namer says
Sad story with a happy ending. Now the muslims will cry to the world that this innocent cleric was executed by the IDF for shooting rats in a cemetery.
ed says
But he is entitled to his 72+ perpetual and transparent virgins
Transmaster says
A worn out Kalashnikov is notoriously hard to shoot and very inaccurate.
Kosh's Shadow says
Too bad it didn’t blow up in his face.

Clearly APARTHEID – against Jews!
END Israel Apartheid – let Jews go wherever they want AND pray on the Temple Mount
James Lincoln says
A jihadi muslim cleric NEUTRALIZED.
Great work, IDF.
Simba ✝️ says
Israel may think Christians are their enemy because of historical injustice.. fact is the Holy scriptures don’t make Jews and Christians (gentile) enemies,,, The Enemy, satan, infact hates both of us, and Islam (allah) hates Jews and Christians also
T.jefferson says
And if the pile of crap governing Israel would allow citizens to be armed this incident as well as October 7th would have turned out differently.
Every Israeli home should have a battle rife .
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏for Israel❤️❤️
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Can’t imagine what his sermons were like. They should bulldoze the mosque from which he spewed his vile Islamic hatred and turn it into a highly protected playground for Jewish children.
OLD GUY says
Hey give him a job at Columbia, they are hiring ” islamic instructors “.
Scotsman48 says
A muslim cleric shooting at Jewish children sounds like the savages in Nigeria kidnapping Christian children as this appears to be a theme within islamic garbage teachings as they are cowards, low life thugs, that stab older people in the back on the streets of America or shoot at children in Israel or kidnap or slaughter children in Nigeria…
islamism is the new nazism.
