In Gaza, Col. Mohammed Ghayeb of the PA security forces was killed while on the phone with a Palestinian news crew. AP writes:
“They are killers,” Ghayeb told the television station, referring to the Hamas gunmen. “For God’s sake, send an ambulance, we want an ambulance, somebody move.”
Moments later, the phone connection was cut and Ghayeb was dead, said Fatah spokesman Tawfiq Abu Khoussa. The officer’s wife was seriously wounded in the attack, Abu Khoussa said.
Two of Ghayeb’s bodyguards and a Hamas gunmen were also killed and more than 35 people were wounded, including eight children who were bystanders.
Imagine the headlines if a fugitive besieged by the IDF were to die while on the phone with a news crew — among so many other fatalities.
