      The Future of Islamic Terrorism
      An Egyptian strategic expert talks about the future of the terrorist activity
      of Islamic movements against Israel in the wake of the Wye River Accord
      Reuven Paz
      ICT Academic Director



      The London-based Monthly Filastin al-Muslimah, the main organ of Hamas,
      recently published an exclusive interview with the Egyptian Brigadier-General
      (ret.) Tala`t Muslim on the future of the terrorist activity of Hamas, the
      Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hizballah and other Islamic groups, against Israel
      (January 1999 edition). The interview is particularly interesting in that it
      demonstrates the legitimacy and encouragement which an Egyptian ex-high officer
      gives to the Islamist terrorist operation--noteworthy against the background of
      reconciliation process between Israel and the Palestinian national leadership.

      The interview is brought here in full translation, translated by Reuven Paz,
      ICT.


      “The resistance movements are the primary effective powers in the Arab-Israeli
      dispute, which uphold the full rights of the Palestinian people,” Filastin al-
      Muslimah, January 1999, pp. 50-53.
      For fifty years, the age of the Zionist entity, there was no doubt of some of
      the basic perceptions of the noble Qur'an, vindicated by history. One of the
      most important of these: the Zionist enemy speaks only the language of weapons
      and the methods of maneuvering and deception, in order to achieve its wishes
      for expansion. Against all this the Muslim nation has been divided into two
      groups: one was the group of governments and regimes that followed the enemy by
      dialogue and talks that brought us only harm and the loss of rights. The other,
      the group of the peoples led by Jihadi movements, has understood the lesson
      from the beginning, and has identified the nature and the language of the
      enemy. They sacrificed both soul and fortune for the defense of Arabic and
      Islamic rights. The group of governments went from negotiation to negotiation
      until the last security accord at Wye Plantation, which is confiscating the
      future of the Palestinian problem. Hence the importance of talking with the
      strategic expert Brigadier-General Tal`at Muslim, who can shed some light on
      the future of the Jihadi operations of movements like Hamas, the Islamic Jihad,
      Hizballah and others, and their role in the shadow of this accord.

      Q. How do you evaluate the operations of the Jihadi resistance against the
      Zionists in Palestine?

      A. These are the main forces that influence the Arab-Israeli dispute. In the
      past they managed to be a strong factor influencing the Israeli and American
      politicians. They are the only forces that uphold all of the legitimate rights
      of the Palestinian people and seek to achieve this target by the use of the
      language that the enemy knows best.

      They are not the only influencing powers but the strongest and the leading
      ones. The rest of the Arabic armed forces have some influence, but it comes
      from their potential involvement and not from their actual activity.

      We should conclude that the Jihadi operations have proved their effectiveness.
      One example of this was the fact that only recently the Zionist Prime minister
      had to cut short his visit in Britain in order to return to the occupied lands
      to head a session of his government to weigh the various choices. One of these
      was the issue of unilateral withdrawal from Southern Lebanon. Even Sharon, The
      Foreign Minister, who is well known for his hostility to the Arabs and the
      Muslims, sees the need for unilateral withdrawal from Lebanon, which proves the
      strong influence of these operations on the Zionist enemy.

      Q. How do you view the suicide operations that are regarded nowadays as the
      only voice speaking the language of the enemy?

      A. These operations are part of the legitimate armed struggle against the
      Zionist occupation. They are effective in the framework of the Arab-Zionist
      dispute, especially since the Arab official circles have actually abandoned the
      armed struggle. This is undoubtedly one of the means that every nation should
      take in its struggle with the enemy. The neglect of it is the neglect of one of
      the most important and vital methods of struggle. These methods have removed
      all doubt over the ability of the Arab nation to employ the military option.

      Q. To what extent have these operations taken by the resistance movements been
      successful in putting pressure on the Zionist enemy?

      A. These operations have proved that there was no peace with Israel and the
      Zionist powers in the occupied territories, as long as Israel does not
      recognize the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. They proved that the
      Palestinian people possess the power, the ability and the will to turn the
      Zionists' life into hell, and make the Zionist parents fear for the life of
      their children. Hence, there was a strong pressure of the Zionist public
      opinion on the Zionist government to recognize the legitimate rights of the
      Palestinian people.

      Q. From your strategic experience, what should the resistance movements do in
      the present circumstances?

      A. They should act with more effectiveness and planning. In some cases we find
      the Jihadi operations suffering from bad planning or execution. For example
      there were cases where the bomb exploded in the hands one of the warriors of
      the Jihad. This is a great loss for two reasons: on one hand it hits a warrior,
      and on the other it prevents the bomb from exploding on the enemy.

      Good planning brings about the concentration of powers in order to act against
      several targets at the same time and place, and hence to increase the losses of
      the enemy to such a degree that he will seriously reassess his actions. It is
      possible to hit specific targets such as electricity network, water supply or
      an Israeli military camp. Bombing of such vital targets within a short time
      would not let the enemy recover from the first one before being hit by the
      next.

      Moreover, there should be better coordination with the popular elements that
      can be relied on. No doubt one of the consequences of the Jihad is the fact
      that the enemy take measures of revenge that cause the people to suffer a lot.
      This may cause some alienation between the people and the Jihad warriors,
      whence comes the importance of the coordination.

      Q. What is the future of these operations in the shadow of the Wye Plantation
      security accord and the involvement of the American intelligence in the
      surveillance of the resistance?

      A. No doubt the accord signed by the Palestinian Authority and the involvement
      of the CIA in the Palestinian arena cause the Jihadi operations some
      difficulties. But, I predict that the operations will not stop even if they may
      fail from time to time. The resistance movements must give more attention to
      the planning, the secrecy and self- sacrifice, so that whenever there are
      difficulties they will find more power to overcome. If the operative uses a
      small bomb he should then tend to use a bigger one or several bombs, so that
      the explosion will be more effective and will be compensation to the failure in
      another place.

      Unfortunately, the American involvement in Palestinian affairs will cause them
      to be aware of every move of the Palestinian Authority, which will weaken it on
      one hand. On the other hand, the CIA has a lot of possibilities to gather
      information and to interfere in the activity of the Jihadi elements and weaken
      their position. Furthermore, the accord gives the CIA the opportunity to
      infiltrate into Palestinian society, and this is a dangerous factor not only
      for the resistance but to the Palestinian people and even the Arab nation.

          Two killed in terrorist infiltration into West Bank settlement

          By Amos Harel, Ha'aretz Correspondent, and Ha'aretz Service




          Two people were killed Saturday morning after a terrorist infiltrated a West Bank
          settlement, west of Hebron.

          The terrorist opened fire on the residents of Adura, killing the two and wounding
          several others.

          A large number of security forces are at the scene and are exchanging fire with
          the gunman.

          Ambulances have also been mobilized in the area.

            Four Israelis die in West Bank raid

            At least one attacker slipped through Israeli security

            The Israeli army says four people have been killed by at least one Palestinian
            gunman who infiltrated a West Bank settlement and opened fire on residents.
            At least six people were wounded in the attack on the Adora settlement near the
            city of Hebron, an army spokesman said.

            The shootings came as a UN fact-finding mission was gearing up to visit the
            region - a day later than initially planned, as an Israeli cabinet decision on
            the visit is still awaited.



            The team is due to investigate the recent Israeli military operation in the
            Jenin refugee camp, where Palestinians say a massacre took place.

            Israeli soldiers searched Adora after the attack amid fears that those behind
            the shootings may have taken hostages in one of the houses, but found no one.

            "We heard firing. Someone was shouting 'terrorists, terrorists'," Adora
            resident Ruth Bar Yosef said in an radio interview.

            "They got into one of the houses and shot whoever was there, then moved on to
            other houses," she said.

            This is the first deadly Palestinian attack on Israelis since a suicide bomber
            killed six people near a Jerusalem market on 12 April.

            Terror 'not eradicated'

            Hebron, where about 400 Jewish settlers live under heavy security among 120,000
            Palestinians, was the only big West Bank city not reoccupied in Israel's recent
            military operation.

            "The attack this morning against Israeli citizens in the West Bank proves that
            terror has not yet been eradicated," Israeli government spokesman Aryeh Mekel
            said.

            The BBC's Stephen Gibbs in Jerusalem says it seems likely that the Israeli
            Government will use the attacks as justification for continuing their
            incursions.


            Israel had declared its offensive aimed at rooting out Palestinian militants
            over, but briefly re-occupied the town of Qalqilya on Friday, killing a local
            militant leader and arresting at least 46 men.

            Shootings

            In a separate incident, a Palestinian was shot dead near the settlement of
            Dugit in the northern Gaza Strip.



            The French news agency AFP quoted Palestinian medical sources as saying the man
            in his 20s was shot by Israeli troops as he approached the settlement.

            Our correspondent says it appears that a potential attack on the settlement was
            averted.

            In Bethlehem, a shooting incident was reported as the siege at the Church of
            the Nativity continued into its 25th day.

            Several shots were heard outside the basilica where 200 Palestinians including
            30 gunmen are surrounded by Israeli troops.

            One person from inside the church was later taken away on a stretcher by
            Israeli military medical personnel.

            Two Palestinians inside the holy site were injured in an exchange of fire on
            Friday and were taken out of the church.

            Jenin delay

            Earlier on Saturday, the United Nations secretary-general, Kofi Annan, agreed
            to a call by Israel to delay the departure of a UN fact-finding mission, which
            will examine the Israeli military action against Palestinians at the Jenin
            refugee camp.

            The team now aims to set out for the region on Sunday, to arrive after the
            Israeli cabinet discusses the issue.

            Two Irish policemen with counter-terrorist experience have joined the group, to
            meet Israeli objections that it was dominated by humanitarian rather than
            military specialists.

            But our correspondent says that the Israeli cabinet is split on the issue and
            is not certain to agree to accept the mission.
