Bombing of Terror Base School Earlier Today in Gaza
The IAF bombed a school terror base in Gaza today killing around 20 terrorists among them two VIPs from Hamas ranks. Al Jazeera, unofficial Palestinian channels, local freelance journalists and their propagandists are calling it a massacre saying 100 people were killed.
From watching all the graphic videos I can tell you it was not 100 people and only fighting aged men. Furthermore the official number of killed (with a list of names) published now after 9 hours by the Palestinians is 36, meaning they officially claim 36 now, not 100 as was claimed on all Arab media earlier.
So, as usual, the terrorists use schools as terror bases, when we bomb the school killing the terrorists all of the Arab media cries massacre saying 100 dead and by the time the official numbers come out, the propaganda has already been spread far and wide. I am glad that terrorists were killed, as we should all be. Terrorism deleted.
Here we see another example of a pattern we’ve seen way too often. Israel targets a group of terrorists in a civilian area, Hamas immediately claims a “massacre” and claims within minutes a huge and strangely specific death toll, Israel gives details of the terrorists killed, and the world media gives more credence to the Hamas version of the story (backed up by Hamas…
How Israel Survives, Striking at the Heads of the Snakes Was the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh legal under international law?
There was Saleh Arouri, a Hamas deputy military commander, eliminated by the IDF in January 2024.
There was Muhammad Deif, Hamas’ senior military commander in Gaza, who was killed by an airstrike on July 13.
There was Fuad Shukr, the military commander of Hezbollah, and second in the terror group’s hierarchy, just behind Hassan Nasrallah, killed on July 30, by an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
There was Ismail Haniyeh, the Doha-based billionaire head of Hamas’ “political wing,” who was visiting Tehran to attend the inauguration of Iran’s new president, and just a few hours after joining others in a rousing rendition of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” he returned to his room in a government guesthouse secured by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps guards, and was blown up by a bomb that Mossad, or its Iranian agents, had placed there months before, to be detonated from afar only when Haniyeh, and no other guest, inhabited that room.
There was Samer Mahmoud Al-Haj, a senior Hamas commander and recruiter at the Ain al-Hilweh camp in Lebanon, killed in an Israeli airstrike on August 9.
The IDF announced just the day after that, on August 10, that it had killed senior Hamas commander Walid al-Sousi in Gaza the day before. He had been the head of Hamas’s General Security Apparatus in southern Gaza, involved in managing intelligence and crushing resistance to the regime.
He was eliminated by Israel Air Force jets and the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate.
Clearly, the threats from Hamas, Hezbollah and, especially, Iran to wreak a terrible vengeance on Israel for the killings of Fuad Shukr in Beirut and of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran have not deterred the IDF in the slightest. Since that warning, at least two more targeted killings of Hamas commanders — Samer Mahmoud al-Haj in northern Lebanon, and Walid al-Sousi in southern Gaza — have been carried out. The IDF has signaled to Hezbollah and Iran that it will not call a halt to its campaign of targeted assassinations.It doesn’t fear their threats and is even now preparing itself for a possible all-out war with Iran. It’s not a war that Israel wants, just as it did not want the war with Hamas it felt compelled to fight after the atrocities committed by the terror group on October 7. But it’s a war, like the war in Gaza that is now in its tenth month, that Israel is prepared to fight. And some Israelis, convinced of the inevitably of such a war, would like it to take place before Iran acquires nuclear weapons.
The wide-ranging attacks in southern Gaza that have killed many dozens of Hamas combatants and destroyed terrorist infrastructure, especially the tunnels that are continually being discovered and just as swiftly being blown up or filled with cement by the IDF, show that the IDF has not been cowed in the slightest by the Iranian threats that filled the airwaves after the killing of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. In fact, almost two weeks after Haniyeh’s death, Iran has yet to launch a single rocket toward Israel. Perhaps the ayatollahs sense that the IDF has something unusual planned — some weapon that the world does not yet know about — should Iran provide the justification for its use by recklessly attacking the Jewish state. The Israeli high command appears to be unruffled, and even looking forward to finally striking “at the head of the snake,” which is Iran, directing its proxies — Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon— who form that snake’s body. Does the Iranian regime want to risk its survival, knowing that if it is overwhelmed and humiliated by the IDF, disaffected Iranians may take that occasion to rise up and overturn their tormentors?
