Hamas has released an announced that Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who was killed in Dubai on January 20, 2010, was assassinated by Israel. The media statement stated that Mabhouh lived in Syria since 1989, and he was killed a day after arriving in Dubai, not detailing the events surrounding his death.
The terrorist organization reports Mabhouh was a founding member of the Izzadin el-Kassam military wing of the organization, and he was responsible for the planning and of the abduction/murder of two IDF soldiers, Avi Sasportas and Ilan Saadon.
On February 16, 1989, Sergeant Avi Sasportas HY”D was kidnapped and shot to death while hitchhiking at Hodaya Junction. His body, which had been buried at Givati Junction in the south, was discovered on May 7, 1989.
On May 3, 1989, Corporal Ilan Saadon HY”D was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. In the beginning of November 1990, the terror cell responsible was uncovered. It was the same cell that abducted and murdered Sasportas. On November 22, 1990, he was declared dead by the IDF Rabbinate. His body was found on July 29, 1996.
Ilan’s mother responded to the report, stating the elimination of the terrorist came 20 years too late.
