Good Riddance
Khaled Massoud, 34, a senior member of Hamas’ military wing Izzadin Al Kassam, died Saturday of wounds he sustained in an Israeli missile strike on August 26 in Gaza City.
| Ah! A month of agony, waiting for the end to come in a Paleostinian hospital, attended by maked Hamas nurses. There is a God! |
Massoud was active in the development of Hamas’ Kassam rocket program. He died in Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital Saturday. Israeli security officials said Massoud’s brother, Tito, a former Hamas member, was killed in an IAF missile attack in June. Officials said both brothers were involved in manufacturing Kassam rockets and launching them against Israel.

In Gaza, Hamas leaders are increasingly instructing their fighters to take extra precautions. Most of the leaders who have gone underground themselves have shut off their phones or changed their numbers to elude the IDF. Many of them have ceased to make media appearances for fear of being located and killed by the IDF.
| That has the side benefit — or is it side? — of making it ever so much more difficult for them to plan and coordinate attacks. They've been pretty ineffectual lately — though something will eventually get through. |
