#Tiran Fero

[girlactionfigure]

These are the details of Tiran Fero release:

The negotiations to return the body of the Druze-Israeli teenager came after close to 30 hours of intense talks between Israel’s defense establishment and the Palestinian Authority. His body was transferred at 4 a.m. to his family in Israel through the Salam Crossing.

The negotiations were led by Maj.-Gen. Ghassan Alian from the IDF’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) along with the Israel Police, Shin Bet and other civilian bodies including international mediators.  Rafik Halabi, the head of the Daliyat el-Carmel Council said that Qatar, Jordan and Egypt were also involved in the talks. I have posted about Major-General Ghassan before, he is a war hero.

While there was no immediate public claim of responsibility by any terrorist groups, according to the uncle, the terrorists belonged to Palestinian Islamic Jihad. According to reports, the terrorists believed Fero was an undercover Israeli officer, and they were demanding the release of the bodies of terrorists being held by Israel in return for his body.

A senior IDF officer stressed that there were no negotiations with the terrorists and that there was only one request to the Palestinian Authority and that was to return the body. Had the PA not acted, the officer said, the IDF would have used other means to get the body back.

Had they failed to get the body back, the PA would have lost all legitimacy to act in future incidents, he said, adding that the PA and Palestinian Authority Security Forces took the incident very seriously and were able to pressure the gunmen to release Fero’s body.

You want to know why the IDF Druze soldiers are so respected in Israel? This is why....

This incredible man right here is Ghassan Alian, last year he was promoted to Major General (Aluf) and has become Israel's highest ranking Druze officer in the IDF.

He has been serving since 1990 and has been a part of 6 of Israel's battles/wars.

Why is he so respected?

During Operation Protective Edge in Gaza 2014, he was injured in his face and eye after an encounter with terrorists whereby he was hit by an RPG. He was evacuated in a complex rescue operation that included heavy artillery fire and he and his soldiers eliminated 15 terrorists in the process, while injured. 

Eventually he was transported to the nearest hospital which was in Be'er Sheva but after they completed their checkup, he refused to stay in the hospital then said "I have a lot of soldiers over there and I need to get back to them"....within a few hours he returned to fight alongside his subordinates on the ground. He returned the hospital only after the battle, once all his men were secure and terrorists eliminated.

After the battle, Ghassan was awarded the rank of a Tat Aluf (Brigadier General) and became the highest-ranking Druze in the IDF and the third Druze in this rank in IDF history. This week he got promoted to the rank of Aluf (Major General) which is one under Rav Aluf (Lieutenant or Chief of Staff).

Perhaps he will be our Ramat Kal (Chief of Staff) one day.

Show the man some respect!

The Druze have just given us a tutorial in Middle East negotiation: strength matters. The willingness to use strength and an adversary’s inability to discern how far you are willing to go are critical.

There is a reason why there were no wars launched against the US while Donald Trump was President: America’s adversaries could not read him. They thought he might be crazy, and they did not want to take a chance on how he might react to provocation.

That lack of certainty or, alternatively, the certainty that retaliation could be extreme, are lessons and mindsets that Israel has not done a great job of inculcating into the hearts and minds of our adversaries.

We preen too much, strutting our purity of arms, our morality, our desire to protect our enemies’ children as much as our own. All of this weakens deterrence and allows our adversaries to anticipate our moves and decisions.

To Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, the Druze were an unknown adversary. However, they both understood the situation. The Druze were prepared to unleash the gates of hell to get their boy back. That tends to focus the mind.

Of course, we don’t know what the Druze would ultimately have done. But given their reputations as good soldiers and their history as masterful survivors, the Palestinians smartly decided that they didn’t want to find out.

[Breaking News] 1:16pm Terrorist Involved in Druze Boy's Murder - Eliminated Good News. The IDF was very busy overnight and eliminated, wounded and arrested numerous terrorists. Among the terrorists killed in Jenin was Muhammad al-Saadi. Muhammad al-Saadi was one of the terrorists involved in the kidnapping and murder of the Israeli-Druze teenager Tiran Fero. He was among the terrorists that entered the hospital, detached the boy from life support and stole his body. There's an expectation in the IDF that the terrorists in Gaza may retaliate in response to the IDF's success.

Earlier I reported the good news that the body of the Israeli Druze teen, Tiran Fero who was kidnapped by terrorists in Jenin, was returned. 

Today would have been his 18th birthday. His father said sadly: "I can't describe the pain, instead of arranging him a birthday, I'm arranging him a funeral."

This has been cleared for publication.

Terrorists in Jenin kidnapped the dead body of an 18 year old Israeli Druze who was critically injured in a car accident near Jenin. 

Tiran Fero, was from the Druze town of Daliyal al-Karmel near Haifa. Early Wednesday morning, while riding with a friend near Jenin, both were critically injured in an accident. Fero was taken by "Palestinian" ambulance to a nearby hospital in Jenin while his friend was taken to an Israeli checkpoint, where he was transferred to an Israeli hospital.

A renegade Fatah group claimed responsibility later for taking the body, with some family members of the deceased telling Army Radio that the man was taken off life support at the hospital before being snatched, essentially killing him in the process.

Israel is pressuring the Palestinian Authority to immediately return the body to Israel.
