'Hamas chief of staff may be dead'
jp ^ | Dec 29, 2008 1:44 | By YAAKOV KATZ AND KHALED ABU TOAMEH

Conflicting reports emerged Sunday regarding the fate of top Hamas military commander Ahmed Ja'abri, who may have been killed in one of the hundreds of Israeli air strikes against Hamas infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.

Since Operation Cast Lead began on Saturday, the air force has flown over 300 sorties over the Strip, bombing close to 280 different targets. Palestinian and Israeli sources said that Ja'abri, the overall commander of Hamas's armed wing, Izaddin Kassam, may have been killed in an air strike on a mosque which he frequented.

Sources close to Hamas in the Gaza Strip said they could neither confirm nor deny the report. They said that the bodies of many of the victims had yet to be identified and that several bodies were still under the rubbles of demolished buildings.

I’m all in favor of a “final solution” for Hamas & Co. and every other Islamoterrorist in both Gaza and the Bank. ...and everywhere else, for that matter. If that means a few hundred thousand or few million dead Islamists, so be it. If it means 100 million+ dead, oh well.

I second the motion. To not exterminate these...things...is to condemn all future generations yet unborn to the endless molestation of these child-raping, baby-killing, woman-torturing monstrosities.

In order to survive, sometimes, you have to amputate a gangrenous limb. Hamas/militant Islam, you are that gangrenous limb. You must be completely cut off and burned up. Israel is your scaple/Bic combo. Light 'em up boys.

I read that his mortar was somehow “seen/targeted” by Israeli forces, and that was an *incoming round* on him, rather than his weapon exploding. At least that’s what I remember from someone’s post on another forum, www.glocktalk.com, I think.

Don't think so. This is an obvious inbore explosion of the warhead. Russians aren't as fastidious about setback safeties as are the Western forces. Or the fuse may have been "altered". Either way, see ya in Hell Mohamed.

No, it was extremely rapid return fire using accurate counter-battery radar.

a neighbor of mine sold her house and moved to the Gaza strip cause God told her to.

Did you ever hear from her again?

Seriously. Is that your “solution”?

Worked every single time it was tried by Ghengis Khan.

How else do you deal with a group of people that are committed to you complete eradication? The Q'Ran is very clear on this. The Muslims want to exterminate the Jews and Christians everywhere. Unfortunately for the Palistinians, the Israeli Jews are not willing to obediantly march to the gas chambers again.

You two advocate carpet bombing and killing 1.3 million Palestinian civilians in Gaza? Seriously. Is that your “solution”?

That approach thoroughly removed any further interest in war from the Germans and Japanese for the past few generations.

Thanks for the link! Being an AP story, it naturally included drek like this:

After nightfall, Israeli aircraft attacked a building in the Jebaliya refugee camp next to Gaza City, killing a 14-month-old baby, a man and two women, Gaza Health Ministry official Dr. Moaiya Hassanain said. In the southern town of Rafah, Palestinian residents said a toddler and his two teenage brothers were killed in an airstrike aimed at a Hamas commander.

...It is believed the toddler was clutching a small stuffed toy, a plush representation of a culturally significant character. Authorities believe the toddler held the stuffed toy close in his last agonizing moments, staring into its unfeeling eyes, searching for relief from the pain that would never come. The two teenagers, active in their local cultural society helping disabled religious activists whose martyrdom belts fail to completely detonate, were mercilessly cut down by the unrelenting rain of Israeli bombs, shrapnel, and Zionist pain-inducing technology. Spontaneous protests are scheduled for tomorrow in front of the press hotel.

"Izaddin Kassam, may have been killed in an air strike on a mosque which he frequented."

I guess he didn't have a prayer.

Good. Now kill his nasty ass again just to be sure.

Then feel free to kill his entire family and any pets they may have had.

Oh, and knock down his house, burn his fields, and sow the ground with salt.

Then fart over it.

Can't be too careful.

A common newbie affliction. That and stupidity.

He must be a by-product of MSM brainwashing.
