White House confirms Israel killed Hamas No. 3 in strike last week
2024-03-19
[IsraelTimes] US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on Monday confirmed Israel killed the deputy commander of Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
’s military wing in a recent strike, becoming the first official in any government to publicly do so.

"Hamas’s number three, Marwan Issa, was killed in an Israeli operation last week," Sullivan said during a White House press briefing. "The rest of the top leaders are in hiding, likely deep in the Hamas tunnel network, and justice will come for them too. We are helping to ensure that."

Sullivan noted US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....
and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed Israel’s military operations in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
during their phone call Monday, with the former "emphasiz[ing] his bone-deep commitment to ensuring the long-term security of Israel and [re]-affirm[ing]...that Israel has a right to go after Hamas, the perpetrators of the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust."
Big of him to say so, under the circumstances.
"Israel has made significant progress against Hamas. They’ve broken a significant number of Hamas battalions and killed thousands of Hamas fighters including senior commanders," Sullivan added.
