Jan 1, 2009 17:48 Nizar Rayyan considered successor of Ahmed Yassin By YAAKOV KATZ, JPOST.COM STAFF AND AP

Sheikh Nizar Rayyan, 52, a senior Hamas leader and cleric, was killed along with several others on Thursday when an IAF aircraft dropped a bomb on the eight-story Jabalya apartment building he lived in, the IDF said.

Sheikh Nizar Ryan, a senior Hamas leader, was reportedly killed by IAF strikes on Thursday.

Palestinian medics said that nine people were killed, including two of Rayyan's four wives and four of his 12 children, and around 30 were wounded in the air strike.

What a tragedy. How will the world carry on with one less mass murderer in it?

The Israelis say they warned the family the home was to be hit and they refused to leave. Good riddance to half the wives and 30% of the kids of this psycho clan.

Since wives and children are mere property in Islamic culture, you'll please forgive me for not celebating theor demise.

This was an eight-story apartment building, yet the list of the dead must have all lived together. The obvious conclusion is that the Israeli Air Force did not "drop a bomb on the apartment building." Instead, they flew a smart bomb -- the sort of armament the US uses -- straight into the correct wimdow and apartment in the building to get the particular target.

The writer of this report was obviously not thinking as he typed. But then, most reporters miss that little detail.

You start to wonder how many of them have to be killed before they begin to get the message. Slow learners.

re: considered successor of Ahmed Yassin

Looks like the IDF might be getting ahead of the curve just a bit now. Time was new leaders weren't eliminated until AFTER they had been sworn in, now they're getting potential leaders!

I honestly don't take delight in the death of any individual, even the most hardened PA leader, but if people have to die then far better it be this guy rather than some civilian on the Israeli side of the border.

My fear is that this about the time Israel usually starts getting cold feet and backs off in response to international pressure from bleeding hearts. Although I must say, I've seen less harping from the usual sources this time than any other Israeli action before. Could it be that Hamas has FINALLY gone too far, so far that even their usual apologists can't back them?

This has been going on for how many thousand years?
Their culture has got to be changed, somehow.

Well, the wars between them and whoever have been going on for thousands of years, but airstrikes and attack drones have not. This is a novel experience for them. They clearly need some time to get the message (”screw with Israelis, you get dead”).
