Ahmed Al-Jaabari, who ran the armed wing of Hamas, was killed in an Israeli airstrike today.
The military wing of Hamas said in a statement that the assassination “has opened the gates of hell”.
Reuters reported:
Israel killed the military commander of Hamas in an airstrike on the Gaza Strip Wednesday, bringing the two sides to the brink of a possible new war.
The attack came despite signs that Egypt had managed to broker a truce between Israel and Palestinian militants after a five day surge of violence which saw more than 100 missiles fired out of Gaza and repeated Israeli strikes on the enclave.
Islamist Hamas said Ahmed Al-Jaabari, who ran the organization’s armed wing, Izz el-Deen Al-Qassam, died along with a passenger after their car was targeted by an Israeli missile.
Israel’s Shin Bet domestic intelligence service confirmed it had carried out the attack, saying it had killed Jaabari because of his “decade-long terrorist activity”.
“The purpose of this operation was to severely impair the command and control chain of the Hamas leadership,” the Israeli military said in a statement.

“bringing the two sides to the possible brink of a new war”? What planet has Reuter’s been living on the past several years? Every single day 80 or more rockets land in southern Israel, all fired from Gaza. You know, the piece of land that Israel willingly gave up in hopes for peace.
Children in Sderot cannot venture more than 15 seconds or so from a bomb shelter!
When did war ever stop?
And BTW, Hamas is a terrorist group. They don’t have a “military” – they have terrorists.

Hamas: killing of military chief by Israel has ‘opened gates of hell’
But constantly trying to wipe Israel off the map is the road to peace, eh?

Gee, haven’t been this thrilled about an Israeli airstrike since they sent a missile into a wheelchair occuppied by the leader of Islamic Jihad. Kaboom!! Killed a bunch of his henchmen too.
What a beautiful site that was… mangled wheelchair pieces spread all over along with bits of hamburger and burnt clothing.
Don’t you just love it when there’s not enough left of these animals to bury and their funeral consists of a garden hose being used to wash their remains down a street gutter into the sewer below?

#4 Granny sez “You know, the piece of land that Israel willingly gave up in hopes for peace.”
My thoughts exactly. Why does anybody bother to accommodate these uncivilized animals?
dunce commented:
Egypt did not broker any truce, all those missiles and other weapons are shipped through Egypt. Any deal made has the destruction of Israel as its goal. The scum suckers of the world made up rule out of thin air that Israel can only use “proportional” responses to attacks. Thus if no one was killed because the rockets missed then Israel can not kill any arab terrorists, or if some one is killed then only one terrorist may be killed. With hundreds of millions of arabs and only a few million Israelis the world will run out of Israelis eons before it runs out of murdering lying arabs.
