Israel's military has killed a Palestinian identified as an operative aligned with Al Qaida

The military said Fares Ahmed Jaber was killed during a gun battle on Feb. 11 in the Gaza Strip. Fares was said to have been killed in an Israel Air Force strike as his squad prepared to attack an Israeli target near the northern Gaza Strip. "Fares Ahmed Jaber, who was killed in the IAF strike while preparing to carry out an attack in the area, was a global jihad operative," a military statement said.

The military employs the term "global jihad" to describe Palestinian operatives linked to or inspired by Al Qaida. The statement said Jaber was involved in numerous missile and rocket strikes in Israel.

"Fares was involved in firing rockets at Israeli communities in the northwestern Negev region in the past few months," the statement said. "Another militant, who was involved in an attempt to execute a terror attack was also targeted and injured."

Sounds like the Israeli Air Force has been taking care of business.Do they know that there's a group of bearded 9th Century pig fornicators living in Tehran that need to be dealt with?

When the opposition owns the air, and they possess weapons that can pretty much obliterate anything, you can run, but you’ll just die tired.

This is why the Palistinians have had so much trouble getting their space program off the ground. Israel keeps hitting their researchers with rockets.
