Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari killed by Israeli strike

Ahmed Jabari, head of Hamas' military wing, was killed Wednesday in a targeted strike by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Islamist group said an Israeli airstrike hit a car in the Gaza Strip, killing both Jabari, who ran the organization's armed wing, the Izz el-Deen Al-Qassam, and a passenger.

Israel's Shin Bet domestic intelligence service confirmed it had carried out the attack, saying it had killed Jabari because of his "decade-long terrorist activity."

IDF Spokesperson said the purpose of the strikes was to deal a heavy blow to the Hamas command and control apparatus and to the organization's terrorist infrastructure.

The incident appeared to end a 24-hour lull in cross-border violence that surged this week.

Jabari is the most senior Hamas official to be killed since Operation Cast Lead in Gaza four years ago. He has long topped Israel's most-wanted list.

Jabari, a relative of one of the founders of Hamas, Dr. Abdel Aziz Rantisi, was responsible for the attack on Kerem Shalom, when IDF soldier Gilad Shalit was kidnapped and two other soldiers killed. Jabari was in charge of negotiations during Shalit's five years in captivity.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told mayors of southern Israeli cities under rocket attack that it was his responsibility to choose the right time to "exact the heaviest price" for the continual rocket fire from Gaza.

Since the flare-up with Gaza began, Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have promised a sharp Israeli response to the rocket fire.

During the Be'er Sheva meeting with the southern Israeli mayors, Netanyahu said that Israel is not expected to undertake significant military action in Gaza at this stage, or to renew assassinations of Gaza militants.

"I am responsible for us choosing the right time to exact the heaviest price, and so be it," Netanyahu said. "Whoever thinks that they can damage the daily lives of residents of the south, and that they won't pay a heavy price for this – they are mistaken."

Note: Ahmed Jabari was behind the 2006 abduction of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit

Who Was Dead Terrorist Leader Ahmed Jabari?

Ahmed Jabari was killed in an Israel Defense Force operation on Wednesday after repeated rocket attacks on Israel. He was responsible for organizing rocket attacks on Israeli civilian population centers, engineering the Hamas takeover of Gaza in 2007 and masterminding the kidnapping and imprisonment of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. The 52-year-old terrorist leader has previously earned a degree in history from Gaza's Islamic University. The elimination of Jabari marks the beginning of Operation Pillar of Cloud.

You hit me, I hit you. You blame me and I blame you. This will never end.

The operative word is terrorists, but during these black operations many innocents get hurt or killed.

That's unfortunate but it's inevitable. More innocents get killed in motor accidents than in terrorist attacks. Life is like that.

Again the operative word is accidents which usually carries no intent to kill or maim. Black ops is done with a view to damage, hurt or kill. Or all three.

 

[Leongsam]

This is how the dirty Muslims operate... cowards hiding under the skirts of the civilian population.

The IDF could easily wipe out the whole neighborhood if they operated with the same zero scruples policy.

 

[lushbush]

Yes its sad that human shields are used in any form of fighting.

The aircraft that accomplished the mission.

The target after the attack. Father and son died.

 

[lushbush]

Live by violence and die by it too thats life for some over there. A waste of lives that could have been useful.

Well done IDF! Score: IDF 1: Hamas: 0

Well done IDF! Score: IDF 1: Hamas: 0

If the scoring is started now then yes. But they have been at it for such a long time so much so that very many of the scorekeepers are long gone.

For the intended target, the death is a deliberate act. All collateral damage is an accident.

 

[Leongsam]

None of those lives would ever have been useful. If all the Palestinians on earth were to drop dead tomorrow, the world would have lost absolutely nothing. In fact, it will probably be a much better place.

Often in politics, there is misnaming. They could have been shooting the other vehicle but fluke hit the right one. They report otherwise. No need to go far to find examples. The rock here has many under the gooky gang of LKY.

It is an accident only because the other targets were unintended. Unlike other accidents however there was intent to kill and risk killing others.

Thats too unfair a statement to make. We often see the bad side of these people but I am sure there's some good too in them.

 

[Leongsam]

Who cares! One dangerous terrorist has been eliminated and that's what counts. If a handful of others died because they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, just put it down to bad luck and move on. Life is full of risks anyway so what's the big deal.
