Israel's borders are heating up: It looks like WAR is on tap for 2006. DEBKAfile Exclusive: Terrorist umbrella Palestinian Resistance Committees threaten “to cleanse” the Rafah terminal. Palestinian and European inspectors on high alert December 25, 2005, 8:56 PM (GMT+02:00) Jemal Abu Sema Dana, PRC chief The PRC was reported to be plotting to set on fire the Rafah crossing from Sinai into Gaza, or else take European border inspectors hostage, whether singly or in convoy bringing a change of shift. Sunday night, a PRC team seized a vehicle belonging to the Palestinian Rafah crossing commander. It is feared preparing to use it for an attack on the terminal. The trouble was sparked Sunday afternoon, Dec. 25, according to DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources, when three Palestinian terrorist chiefs, appearing in public together for the first time, tried to leave the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing and were refused passage. Jemal Abu Sema Dana, head of the PRC and king of Palestinian gunrunners, Ahmed al Jaabari, “chief of staff” of the Hamas armed Ezzeddin al Qassam Brigades, and Khaled al Dahdouh, commander of the Jihad Islami’s terrorist arm, al Quds Brigades, presented Palestinian passports stamped with Saudi visas to the border inspectors. They claimed they were on their way to Mecca for the “small hajj.” All the authorities in charge of the Rafah crossing - Palestinian, Egyptian and European – agreed to turn them back. Our counter-terror sources report that the trio’s pilgrimage to Mecca was far from pure: they were making for a clandestine rendezvous with fellow “pilgrims” - senior officers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Lebanese Hizballah, to receive last instructions for a major terrorist offensive against Israel: the Hizballah striking against northern Israel from Lebanon and the Palestinians hitting out from the West bank and Gaza Strip. This was in line with a plan hatched in Tehran by Iranian RG officials and two visiting Damascus-based Palestinian terrorist chiefs, Hamas politburo head Khaled Mashal and Jihad Islami leader Abdallah Ramadan Shalah. The pair has spent the last two weeks in Iran. One Israeli intelligence officer quipped: “Rather than worshipping at ancient tombs, the three terrorist chiefs were traveling to Mecca to dig fresh graves for us.” This is the first time Palestinian terrorists have been denied permission for incoming or outgoing passage through the Rafah crossing since it was opened in November.
