Israeli warplanes unleashed another wave of heavy airstrikes on the Gaza Strip Monday, destroying about 60 miles of militant tunnels and the homes of nine Hamas commanders — and also killing a senior Islamic Jihad leader, the military said.
IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus told reporters Monday that it had assassinated Hussam Abu Harbeed, who commanded Islamic Jihad’s northern Gaza brigade and led attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians for almost 15 years.
In a statement, the IDF said Harbeed “was behind several anti-tank missile terror attacks against Israeli civilians.” One of those attacks occurred on the first day of the current round of fighting when a civilian was wounded, Conricus said.
The ministry doesn’t specify how many of the dead belonged to Hamas or other terrorist groups.
IDF released a video from the airstrike.

Photo from the vehicle reveals that what was once a commander of Islamic Jihad is now just a pancake:
There was no immediate confirmation from Islamic Jihad or its armed wing, the al-Quds Brigades, about the assassination.
Exactly. Backward ass barbarians. And did you get a load of that van-conversion “ambulance”? Pathetic.
“Where’s the video of the actual strike?”
The AP can’t film moving objects as they are running themselves.

Rachel Corrie is a mat
Got ran over flat as that
When I see it I just smile
Makes me happy for a while
Lots of transmission oil leaking from the that car (/sarcasm)
They don’t need the jaws of life to cut the vehicle when they can take him out a bit at a time through the little holes.
The links are dead ends for those of us without a twitter account.
Wonder if he had time to yell the name of his moon god...?
Probably a breakdown in communication with moon god, as the moon was just a crescent today.
I can see the aftermath video.
That’s a lot of blood.
It looks like a Chinese fire drill. The ambulance crews look totally incompetent.
God help anyone who needs medical attention in some muslim country. They are going to need it.
Maybe they were stomping on him because the IDF is decided not to roll over and take another round of missile attacks, while shouting, “you fool, you’ve killed us all”
No kidding.
Lol! You have a point.
Probably a bladed Hellfire missile. No explosive. Six razor-sharp blades pop out and shred the target. RX9 Hellfire.

Has the definition of "assassination" changed?
So what happened? I saw a big dent in the roof.
What hit his car?
It’s apparent the IDF is using their new small diameter bombs.
Comparatively cheap ($40k), and very effective against small targets.
Plus a single aircraft can carry 4 of them on each pylon.
36lb HE warhead. Enough for a tank.
Or a Chrysler sedan:)
I guess its a case of
He’s dead Jim...
