Israeli drones kill a group of Hamas leaders — 18 Comments

  1. As is said elsewhere, to do this as it was done requires to know who, when, where. Keeping track of whatever big shots might be in the meeting and….wait, this other guy is going to be in next Wednesday.
    Could have gotten him any old time, if they knew where he was or would be. The Israelis knew something was going down and they could get a number of birds with one stone.
    Compared to the knowing, delivering the ordnance was routine, as such things go.

    Be interesting to know how much of their operations have to be scrubbed or put on hold pending a frantic search for the Israeli source. And how many individuals and offices are either disrupted or detained on suspicion, thus not doing whatever they’re supposed to be doing.

    And if the Iranians treat the suspects to the usual Iranian interrogation, those one or two degrees of separation from the victims may well have a change of heart.

  3. Great news! Hopefully, included with the explosive were some pig entrails. Otherwise, those killed are enjoying the first of their 72 virgins in ‘paradise’.

    To effectively fight a mortal enemy, it helps to understand their motivations and then, do all one can to ‘disappoint’ their expectations.

  4. They have gone to their rewards, and no, I don’t think beautiful virgins to abuse eternally are part of the deal.

    On intelligence, it’s clear that Hamas and Iran are not favored by several Arab states in the region.

  5. Being in a celebratory mood:

    Tragic: Hamas Loses Two Leaders In One Day

    Hamas is reeling after losing two of their most cherished leaders on the same day: military commander Saleh al-Arouri, and Harvard President Claudine Gay.

    “This is a devastating loss for our organization and the world,” said Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh while throwing a dart at a dartboard with a picture of a Jew on it. “Al-Arouri helped mastermind our glorious murder/rape party of October 7th, 2023. Claudine Gay presided over the preaching of our message Jew-hatred in America’s Ivy League. This is an incalculable loss.”

    Ismail Haniyeh then went back to his game of darts while sitting in a jacuzzi and having his shoulders massaged by a high-priced escort from Dubai.

  6. Relax. Slaughterbots don’t exist … yet.

    Microdrones: the AI assassins set to become weapons of mass destruction

    Slaughterbots, of course, is not a documentary. But how close are we to the real thing?

    Stuart Russell is professor of computer science at the University of California, and was a sponsor of the 2017 film, which has now been viewed more than 75 million times.

    Perhaps it’s his measured British accent, or the box of PG Tips visible in his Berkley office as we talk via Zoom, but he doesn’t come across as a common or garden doom monger. In fact, he is one of the world’s leading brains in this field and delivered last year’s Reith Lectures on the subject of living with artificial intelligence.

    The key point, he says, is that the technologies required for a lethal microdrone of the type portrayed in the film already exist. They just need to be improved in some areas, shrunk down and integrated.

    “There are some technical issues in miniaturisation which have to do with batteries and range and how much onboard power you need to support the computer processing you need to have a fully autonomous system,” he said. “But really that’s an engineering task. There’s no science fiction stuff that needs to happen. On most of that we’re already there.”

  7. “Arouri helped plan the June 2014 kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens — Gil-ad Shaar, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Fraenkel.”
    .
    And:
    ” He served several terms in Israeli jails, and was released in March 2010 as part of efforts to reach a larger prisoner swap for Gilad Shalit, an IDF corporal kidnapped by Hamas in 2006. … ”
    .
    Are the dates wrong? Or were the kidnapping / murders truly in 2014, AFTER his prison stent?

  8. I said a few days ago that the US seemed to be funding all sides in the Middle East, and streiff has the numbers.

    Basically, the entire Lebanese police and military is paid by the US, which of course filters down to helping Hezbollah as well. The work we funded included uprooting Israeli intelligence networks.

    “None of this is to say that the Biden national security goat rope knew the attack was coming, but it is hard to see how the outcome differed from being an active participant. Had we not been overawed by our cleverness and let Lebanon descend into its natural state, which is chaos and violence, Hamas would not have had a secure area in which to plan and to train, and the coming attack would probably have been discovered, and prevented.”

  9. A movie I enjoyed was “Eye in the Sky” ,which included tiny drones the size of bumble bees. At the time I was still working part time at the Los Angeles MEPS, the military recruit processing center. The next day or so, I was examining a guy who was joining the reserves (can’t remember which branch) and we got talking. He told me he was joining to work on those tiny drones. He assured me that those in the movie existed.

  10. Seeing pictures of these Hamas leaders in meetings remind me of the idea of “the banality of evil.”

    These Hamas leaders look like businessmen, dressed in dark suits with shirts open at the collars. They could be kindly fathers, uncles, or grandfathers. Who would guess from the photos that these men have planned and approved of the most savage crimes imaginable?

    An example:

  11. think of them, as a modern day appalachin conference, with a drone instead of
    a warrant
