Palestinians Attack After Hamas Killing
2004-10-22
Defiant Palestinian militants pounded Jewish settlements in the southern Gaza Strip with mortar fire Friday, following the killing of a top Hamas militant in an Israeli airstrike. Tens of thousands of angry Hamas supporters joined the funeral procession for Adnan al-Ghoul, 46, a founder and deputy chief of the Hamas military wing who was on Israel's most-wanted list since 1990. Mourners and leaders of the Islamic militant group threatened revenge attacks against Israel. "Hamas is loyal to the blood of its martyrs and will continue on the path of holy war and resistance until we achieve victory by defeating the Zionists," Ismail Hanieh, a Hamas leader, said in a rare appearance at a Gaza City mosque.
I think Ismail might be on the list, too...

#9  One militant preparing to fire a mortar shell at Neve Dekalim was killed and another was gravely injured. Palestinians said the dead man was a known Hamas activist. It was unclear if the men were hit by Israeli fire or the mortar shell exploded prematurely.

Oh good. Another scenario for their new video game. "Martyr or Idiot? You make the call."

#8  ...they killed too many terrorists AT ONCE that would be too much for them to stomach. The same mentality operates against US military actions in Iraq.

That's because killing terrorists should only be done at 'nuisance' levels.

#5  Paleo Dirt Bags,
Before attacking the Israeli's, I would like for you to take this opportunity to re-think your actions, IN SLOW MOTION.

#4  Because Israel's targeted assassinations are semi-tolerated by the Jew-haters of Europe, but if they killed too many terrorists AT ONCE that would be too much for them to stomach.

The same mentality operates against US military actions in Iraq. Kill a few here and there and that's fine. Bomb a house and kill more tan say 10 and the whole world of NGOs and America-haters gets excited and out comes a logorrhea of irrational bile.

#3  Good question WhiteCat. I've often wondered the same thing myself. It's an undeniably target-rich environment!

#2  Why don't the Israelis just bomb the funeral procession as well?

#1  "Hamas is loyal to the blood of its martyrs and will continue on the path of holy war and resistance until we achieve victory by defeating the Zionists,"

translated into hebrew: "kill us"
