Israel Sending A Message

Posted by: Curt @ 6:29 pm in Israel/Palestine  | 0 views

Israel is taking the Palestinian terrorist government to task it seems. Earlier they threatened to kill the Hamas leader, before dawn they bombed the offices of that leader, Ismail Haniyeh:

An Israel Air Force attack helicopter launched a missile before dawn Sunday striking the office of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza City. Neither Haniyeh, nor any of his aides, were in the vicinity at the time of the bombing, however damage was done to the building.

Israel Radio reported that the structure burst into flames, and firefighters rushed to the scene shortly after the attack to extinguish the fire.

The attack was similar to Israel’s strike against the Palestinian public security minister – who, like Haniyeh, is a member of Hamas – two days ago.

The strike on Haniyeh’s office indicates a desire by Israel to heighten pressure on Hamas in order to yield the release of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit.

Also before dawn Sunday, the IAF struck the headquarters of a Palestinian Authority security organization founded by Hamas in Gaza, killing one of the group’s operatives and injuring another, Israel Radio reported.

The air force also targeted and killed one Hamas operative in the northern Gaza town of Jabalya, according to Israel Radio.

I do believe Hamas wanted a war, now they got it.
