The PA continues to claim that it is making strides in its \"war\" against terrorism, although Israeli officials say that the terrorists arrested by the PA over the past few days are only small-fry. However, the PA did make a major gain in its \"war\" today: The Hamas terrorist organization has agreed to hold a quiet funeral for one of its slain colleagues.
This notable achievement - albeit not helpful in containing anti-Israeli terrorism - did not come cheap: The PA was forced to agree to release Hamas terrorist leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin from the house arrest it imposed on him earlier this week. Yesterday, in a skirmish outside Yassin\'s home, PA para-military police shot a Hamas protestor, who later died of his wounds.
