Jerusalem, 7 March (AKI) - Israel could target Hamas leaders, including Palestinian prime minister-designate Ismail Haniyeh, should the militant group renew attacks in the Jewish state, Israeli defence minister Shaul Mofaz said on Tuesday. "No one there is immune, not just Ismail Haniyeh," Mofaz told Army Radio, answering a question on whether Israel considered him a potential target for assassination. "The moment Hamas chooses the path of terror, there is no question here of political or non-political [leadership]," Mofaz said. The remarks come three weeks before Israel's 28 March general election. Interim prime minister Ehud Olmert, who heads the centrist Kadima party to which Mofaz belongs, has also been taking a tough line on security as the elections approach. |
