Israel killed a Hamas leader today: Ibrahim al-Maqadma, a founder and top military strategist of the group of terrorist bastards responsible for the murder of hundreds of innocent Israelis (including the sixteen who died in Haifa on Wednesday).
Ibrahim al-Maqadma, 51, was a founder of Hamas and the most senior Palestinian militant to be killed by Israel in a 29-month-old Palestinian uprising. Tens of thousands marched in his funeral in Gaza City, demanding vengeance.

Maqadma was known to be the top commander of Hamas’s military apparatus, which has waged a suicide bombing campaign against Israel since the signing of interim peace accords with the Jewish state in 1993.

Hamas’s military wing ordered its cells to take revenge, including killing Israeli political leaders. The Palestinian Authority strongly condemned Maqadma’s “assassination” and said it would hold Israel responsible for its consequences.
Yeah, they’ll vow “revenge”, which they’ll then try to extract on more innocent civilians. And the world will, as usual, hold the assassination of a murderous terrorist morally equivalent to the murder of high school kids.
Hamas is a terrorist organization working at full capacity. I love when people say “well… duh if you kill more terrorist, there will be more terrorism.”
Israel made a mistake by not going after these guys before. Now, it seems, Hamas “political” leaders are no longer off limits to the IDF. If you want to end terrorism, then kill the terrorist, dont negotiate with them.
there should be an s after terrorist
“And the world will, as usual, hold the assassination of a murderous terrorist morally equivalent to the murder of high school kids.”
And the Zionists will, as usual, hold the assassination of a terrorist worth the murder of any and all civilians who happen to be in the area.
Finally Israel is doing something about Hamas. Israel should continue this war untill Hamas AND the PLO is wiped out.
Israel did something about Hamas a long time ago: they funded them to try to screw Arafat. Nice move, heard of blowback?
