“agree, this does not look like Mossad...Too sloppy.”
This “sloppy” argument is so silly.
Assassins, unlike in the movies, are used one time, then go to a desk job. These guys were probably teachers, lawyers, accountants, and tennis players. People you don’t look at twice in the location at issue.
They didn’t get caught, and are back home, growing their beards back, and getting their hair and teeth implants removed, contacts out.
None of them used their own cellphones like CIA spooks in Italy.
None of them got caught.
The arab occupiers of Gaza and the West Bank are blaming each other, and several have been arrested.
Target is DOA.
Looks brilliant to me.
Everything I've read about the Kidon is that they are the creme de la creme, NOT a couple dozen civilians sent to a foreign capitol to assassinate a target.
Another thing, too, but I have no idea if it is a fact, is that the Mossad has NEVER used any passports belonging to Israelis ever before.
Perhaps there was a TIME sensitive element to this hit which we will learn about some day, and they had to act PROMPTLY or not at all, and consequently it doesn't look like the "normal" work of Mossad -- which, incidentally, I presume that we never actually hear much of anything about.
Hamas' top arms smuggler, a high profile hit, very high profile. Incompetance, or someone was sending a message to someone.
