Arafat is alive and well, or so it would seem:

DEBKAfile Exclusive: First outside Palestinian terrorist group to land in Gaza - Ahmed Jibril’s PFLP-GC - has been sniping at Israeli patrols and positions in the last 48 hours.

August 29, 2005, 9:48 PM (GMT+02:00)

The PFLP-General Command bases in Beirut and Damascus are controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards unit in Lebanon. In Damascus last week, Palestinian prime minister Ahmed Quraia promised Jibril access for his gang to the Gaza Strip after the Israeli pullout. On orders from his Tehran masters and the Hizballah, the terror master jumped the gun.

According to our intelligence sources, Jibril was told to give Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, currently shuttling between the Gaza Strip, Ramallah and Jerusalem an object lesson, namely, it will be beyond the power of the Egyptian force due to take up position on the Gaza-Egyptian border to keep outside Palestinian forces from entering the Gaza Strip of prevent them launching attacks on the Israeli military and civilians.

Israeli military officials are reluctant to take these attacks seriously so soon after the successful evacuation of civilians from the Gaza Strip. But according to DEBKAfile’s sources, hardline Jibril will use this advantage to intensify his strikes and move on to attacks on the West Bank too.

He is due to be followed by entire Palestinian terrorist commands just waiting to move over to Gaza as soon as Israeli troops leave and Egyptian border police take over the gateway to the Gaza Strip.
