A palestinian terrorist exiled to Ireland has survived an assassination attempt by the Mossad, if palestinian sources in Ireland are to be believed.
Palestinian sources said that two men tried to assassinate Jihad Jaara, one of the Palestinians exiled by Israel to Ireland following its siege on the Church of the Nativity in 2002.
According to the sources, two men opened fire at Jaara while he was making his way to the Palestinian embassy in Dublin on Wednesday.
Ramattan tried to phone Jaara but he could not talk as he was at the Police station in Dublin.
His comrades, exiled to Gaza, told Ramattan that Jaara survived shooting. But a vehicle crashed into his car in an attempt to dropp it into a nearby valley.
They added that Jaara was lightly injured and the Irish police arrested two suspects.
Palestinian sources in Ireland told the Israeli Ynet news that “this is beyond any doubt an assassination attempt by the Israeli Mossad.”
Beyond a doubt, eh? This from the palestinian Ma’an News Agency:
Jihad Ja’ara, who was deported from the West Bank after Israel laid siege to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem in 2002, was on his way to the PLO office in Dublin at the time of the attack. Gunmen opened fire at him and swerved their car towards him. Ja’ara was reportedly injured.
The website of the Security Forces added that Irish security arrested then gunmen who appeared to be a Palestinian man with foreign citizenship and a Moroccan man.
