A car carrying Hamas terrorist leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi was attacked by Israeli forces, and Rantisi is reportedly “severely wounded”. More as the story develops…
The terrorist leader was the target of a military strike by the IDF. It is unclear if his car was booby-trapped or attacked by helicopter-fired missiles.
Either way, the leader of a bloodthirsty terrorist group will no longer be able to order or plan attacks. Hamas has been sent a clear message – there is no hiding place for terrorists.
Of course, the usual cries will be echoed about the “peace process” and “violence breeding more violence” and all the other cliches that go with them. The fact is that Israel is at war, and in war targeting the enemy leadership is the best way of removing the ability for the enemy to continue waging war. For all the cries that the assassination of Sheik Ahmed Yassin would cause “a wave of violence” across Israel such predictions have not materialized.
This is a war, and Israel is fighting to win.
