More Hamas leaders killed by Israel
Here’s the announcement [my emphasis]:
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) struck Hamas terrorists Samer Ismail Khadr Abu Daqqa, Ayman Mabhouh, and Osama Tabesh in a strike in Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, the military said on Tuesday.
The terrorists were operating within a terrorist command and control center embedded in a designated humanitarian area of Khan Yunis, the IDF added.
The military specified that Mabhouh was a senior Hamas terrorist, Abu Daqqa was the head of Hamas’s Aerial Unit in Gaza, and Tabesh served as chief of the Observation and Targets Department in the terror group’s Military Intelligence Headquarters.
The military further noted that all three had been directly involved in the October 7 massacre and had carried out attacks against IDF troops and the state of Israel.
Prior to the strike, the military assured that numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional means.
Terrorists love “humanitarian zones,” the better to maximize any civilian casualties when they’re hit – or even better, to deter Israel from trying to get the terrorists at all. I often wonder just how Israel gets its intelligence, although I assume it’s in many difference ways. But I believe much of it is human intelligence, either from Palestinian informers or from Israeli agents who are undercover in the neighborhoods.
I think much of it has to be human intelligence. This is a great series about that very topic. Very well done, and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I don’t understand what the left thinks will happen if Israel does exactly as they want Israel to do. It seems like it’s not so much believing a certain outcome will result as a Manichaean world view of good guys and bad guys (or good thinking and bad thinking) and being on the “side” of the good guys or thought is all that matters.
Similar question arises regarding big city governance; American cities are leftist one party states and have been for 60 years. If they’re not utopia yet, what exactly will be different in the future?
Damn jvermeer, those are good questions. Which probably explains why the prevailing emotion on this blog is exasperation.
With you, Mike and jvermeer!

The case of the booby-trapped bedroom in the Teheran official guest house was astonishing.
Agents asked various IRGC employees, if not actual members, to do the job. Offered six figures and a new identity in northern Europe, goes the story.
THEY FREAKING KNEW WHOM TO ASK. KNEW WHO WOULD NOT OUT THEM. HOW ON EARTH?
Good.
I hope they perished in great agony.
