SENIOR GAZA STRIP TERRORIST ELIMINATED

SENIOR GAZA STRIP TERRORIST ELIMINATED
(Communicated by the GPO)
Thursday, 29 July, 2004

Omar Abdallah Amr Abu Sita, born in 1972, a resident of the Khan Yunis
refugee camp, commander of the Abu Rish faction of Fatah in the Gaza Strip,
and his assistant, Zaki Abu Zarka, were killed today (Thursday), 29.7.04, in
an action by security forces in the southern Gaza Strip.

Since the 1990's, Abu Sita has been involved in several deadly terrorist
attacks in the Gaza Strip, including:

* The 1993 murder of his employer, Uri Megidish;
* The December 2000 bomb murder of an Israeli officer at the DCO;
* The January 2001 murder of Rafiah Yam resident Ronny Tzalah;
* The December 2002 attack at Pe'at Sadeh, in which two Israelis were
murdered.

During the current round of Palestinian violence, several attempted
terrorist attacks, on Israeli territory, by Abu Sita, have been foiled.

In recent years, Abu Sita had been in deep contact with Hezbollah in Lebanon
in order to perpetrate harsh terrorist attacks inside Israel. Several
terrorists who were recruited by Abu Sita, and who were due to be trained by
Hezbollah, were recently arrested.

During the current round of Palestinian violence, Abu Sita had also
cooperated with Hamas elements in the southern Gaza Strip in order to
perpetrate terrorist attacks.

As the commander of the Abu Rish faction, Abu Sita was responsible for
hundreds of shooting, mortar and anti-tank rocket attacks against Israeli
civilians and military forces in the Gush Katif area. In one of the more
recent attacks, an Israeli soldier was hit in the back on 25.7.04.

Most recently, Abu Sita had been planning a "high-quality" terrorist attack
in the Gaza Strip.
