Mahmoud Zahar perdition countdown
EFL. Hat tip LGF
Mahmoud Zahar, a 53-year-old Egyptian-trained physician whose son was killed in an Israeli airstrike, was identified by Israel on Monday as the new Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip. Israeli officials signaled he won’t be targeted for death if the militant group halts suicide attacks.
Better accept Jesus quickly there

Hamas, however, refused to reveal the name of its leader for fear he will be assassinated like his two predecessors.
He will be, the next bus boom...
The Palestinian attorney general said he would speed up prosecution of dozens of suspected collaborators with Israel and search for those who helped Israel kill Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantissi on April 17. Fifty-three alleged freedom fighters informers are in Palestinian custody awaiting trial. Rantissi, the successor of Hamas founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin, himself assassinated by Israel, had taken extreme precautions, but Israel spotted him when he made a rare visit home and killed him in with a missile attack.
"AH you got me! HEY! Where’s my virgins!?"
Hamas declared after Rantissi’s death that it would not disclose the name of his replacement. However, speculation centered on Zahar — Rantissi’s deputy, Yassin’s personal physician and for years one of the most visible and uncompromising Hamas spokesmen. Three Israeli newspapers on Monday identified Zahar as the group’s new leader. Several days ago, Zahar told reporters Hamas would not disclose the name of the new leader but did not deny he had the title. Israel’s military chief, Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon, told the Yediot Ahronot daily the new Hamas leader had inherited the post "automatically" and reluctantly accepted the position. Yaalon also signaled Israel would avoid attacking him as long as the group remains quiet.
Which Hamas almost certainly won’t
