GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A pair of Israeli airstrikes targeted senior Islamic Jihad commanders in Gaza and in Syria early on Tuesday, escalating Israel’s confrontation with Iran across the region and threatening to unleash another devastating round of cross-border violence with Palestinian militants.

In eastern Gaza, the Israeli strike killed Bahaa Abu el-Atta and his wife, setting off a furious barrage of dozens of rocket attacks reaching as far as the Tel Aviv heartland as Islamic Jihad vowed further revenge. The Israeli military said Abu el-Atta was the mastermind of recent attacks against it and the militant group’s top commander in Gaza.

Meanwhile, Syrian officials said an Israeli airstrike in the capital, Damascus, targeted another Islamic Jihad commander, Akram al-Ajouri, who was not harmed.

“escalating Israel’s confrontation with Iran across the region and threatening to unleash another devastating round of cross-border violence with Palestinian militants.”

Think about that line for a minute while also considering the source.

My only question would be, why wasn’t this dude killed a long time ago?

B@stard was responsible for the rocket attacks a few days ago while I was there. Our bus driver’s home was almost hit that evening.

They hide in civilian areas. IDF likes to be surgical with the fewest casualties.

-——and his wife,-——

So, in real war, women are not a protected class just because they are women. A warrior hiding behind his wife’s skirts or head rag can be attacked and killed along with his ineffective shield.

America can learn the lesson. A few dead Taliban women might bring about some change

Yes, I kind of meant, take them out, by slitting their throats, or a .22 round behind the ear. 👍

I suppose we need more Islamic people in our country so that we can experience daily threats and more violence.
