Israeli authorities are reporting that they have killed Ali Qadhi, the senior Hamas commander who executed the deadly attacks within Israel last Saturday. As videos showed, Hamas commandos paraglided into a music festival near the Gaza border and began killing people indiscriminately while taking others hostage.
According to the Israeli Air Force, a drone strike was conducted that killed Qadhi based on recent intelligence of his whereabouts.
The Israeli Air Force says it killed a senior commander in Hamas' commando forces, one who planned the terror attacks that massacred 1,300 Israelis on Oct. 7.
The IAF said a drone strike killed Ali Qadhi, a company commander in the Najaba force of Hamas, after obtaining intelligence from the Shin Bet security agency.
According to the Israeli military, Qadhi was arrested by Israel in 2005 for the kidnapping and murder of Israeli citizens and had been released to the Gaza Strip as part of a prisoner swap in 2011.
"Ali Qadi led the inhumane, barbaric October 7 massacre of civilians in Israel," Israel Defense Forces said. "We just eliminated him. All Hamas terrorists will meet the same fate."
The military also said it killed Abu Merad, who was the head of Hamas' air forces.
The IDF is pledging that this will not be the end of their operations. On Saturday, Israeli officials indicated that a ground invasion of Gaza was imminent, with PM Bibi Netanyahu visiting troops in the staging areas. The war from here is likely to be bloody and protracted given how dug-in Hamas fighters are expected to be. Israel has pushed back its invasion multiple times to allow Palestinian civilians to flee.
While international pressure builds on Israel to pull back, it is clear they have no intention of doing so. The goal is to destroy Hamas, and until that happens, the fighting will continue.
Good. Scratch two bad guys.
Hang the bodies from a lamppost, don’t say anything. Move onto the next one on the list. Rinse. Repeat.
There will no end to this operation until Hamas is completely obliterated. If Israel doesn’t finish the job, the savages will eventually attack again.
If Israel doesn’t cause the elimination of Hamas then this will be seen as weakness. Hezbolla has 100k missiles, if they get involved then that would mean 10’sK Israeli casualties per day. This might cause Israel to unleash the airforce and maybe go nuclear.
One day that whole area will go nuclear
Yup I agree.
Leader: Some paradise this is. And it’s so blasted hot down here I definitely do not look forward to taking a swim in that lake of fire. 🔥🔥
If it’s an existential crisis for Israel they would most certainly threaten to drop a tactical nuke on Hezbollah.. with willingness to follow up.
Leader: Why do all of my virgins look like Helen Thomas?
But don't stop there.
They need to erase the guys' families, immediate and otherwise, all known associates, friends and friends of friends, and their pets.
Because they're all bad guys - or will be - or they support the bad guys.
kill them all and let Allah sort them out.
Democrat FDR: unconditional surrender
Hell yes.
“There will no end to this operation until Hamas is completely obliterated. If Israel doesn’t finish the job, the savages will eventually attack again.”
Israel will probably track every one of them down not only in the ME but internationally, like they did with Munich terrorists.
Israel needs to help them meet their goal.
Win-win.
I thought that the “iron beam” was up and running , I guess I was wrong
Can anyone confirm ? I can’t seem to find this information online
One leader killed will not stop Hamas.
Israel needs to eradicate ALL of them.
I’ll answer my own question
Iron beam isn’t operational yet. In 1-3 years.
It is not enough this one leader was killed.
He should have been captured and tortured for yrars.
one down, 50 more to go
