An airstrike launched by Israel on Wednesday has taken out Hamas’ Gaza City commander, dealing a substantial blow to the Palestinian militant group’s leadership. 

Bassem Issa is the highest-ranking military figure in Hamas to be killed by Israel since 2014, according to The Associated Press. Hamas confirmed his death in a statement. 

The armed wing of Hamas said Issa was killed "along with a few of his fellow brothers of leaders and holy fighters" during the fighting that has been going on for two days in Gaza. 

Israel’s internal security agency said a series of airstrikes had killed Issa and several other senior Hamas militants, including the head of rocket development and cyber warfare, the head of rocket production, and the Hamas engineering chief. 

Issa and several other commanders responsible for the different districts of the Gaza Strip formed Hamas' military council, the highest body deciding on the group’s militant operations. The military council is headed by Mohammed Deif.

It seems that the ball was dropped when Palestine was partitioned, or the nation of Israel created.

These people are only there to commit violence. It will never end, so long as they stay.

It makes me think of American Indian reservations. Not a very good solution, though maybe all there is/was.

Palestine was just a name given by the Romans when they defeated the Jews in AD70 or so - to wipe the name Israel from the world; nice try Romans - who’s still around? Secondly there never was a nation called Palestine, just the area; no king or governor nor peoples - the inhabitants there didn’t call themselves Palestinians until after 1948 when Israel was reborn.

It does not take a genius to see the make up of the democrat party ... That Somalia import in MN is enough to cause a day of national morning .. The democrat party is the party of ‘destruction’ ... treating Biden like he was Jehu was stupid and people are going to pay the price.

That ‘land’ was never called Israel until after 1948 ... Several peoples before the children of Israel (Jacob) were freed from bondage in Egypt. held that land ... But it was for a time called Judah, until after a civil war it became divided and the land was called Judah, (tribe of Judah and tribe of Benjamin) ... and The northern kingdom was called Samaria, where the 10 tribes had their own king ... The Heavenly Father ‘divorced’ the House of Israel for her spiritual whoredoms, and sent them into captivity to the Assyrian king... Course two hundred or so years later, the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were taken by King Neb to Babylon.

That’s not a fair statement. Bibi is pragmatic, has a Nation to protect, is dependent on US Military reinforcement & know Obama/Biden despise Israel. There was no point for Bibi not to try & establish the least toxic relationship with the imposter for Israel’s sake.

[SkyDancer]

Well go back to the Bible and see what the land was called. You’ll see the name Israel mentioned lots of times. It’s like renaming a Ford a Buick; it’s still a Ford with a Buick name - until it was changed back. Just because the Romans named Israel Palestine, Israel did not disappear.

[JayGalt]

What was Bibi supposed to do, slit his belly in protest against the election fraud in the USA? He cannot interfere in US elections. Blame the Dems & the uniparty stooges who enabled them and covered up the fraud.

[Just mythoughts]

I know what the Bible says the ‘land’ was called... Israel was the name change given to Jacob ... any reference of ‘Jacob’ is for all 12 tribes... Israel was used to speak about the 10 tribes ... Christ called them the lost tribes of the House of Israel. And the majority of them still to this day have NO clue who they are. That was their punishment for their spiritual whoredoms... IT is Written... But the Heavenly Father and our Lord and Savior do... know where those of the House of Israel are.

[Just mythoughts]

Oh please cut the drama ... Bibi should have acted just like that ‘socialist’ president of Mexico did ... Bibi acted like a whimp and pretended like the Harris Biden administration would fawn upon him.

Unfortunately I’m not at home where my files are; I have a very interesting post regarding all that. I’ve posted it here several times and I did a search for it in my comments section but couldn’t find it.

[Just mythoughts]

Well, we can then, when you get home go toe to toe with what the Bible actually declares ... Later..

[SkyDancer]

I have - to win a bet with a Palestinian or a supporter and for $5 bet them to name just one Palestinian king or governor; a government, money, etc., that a nation would have. -Later ....

[kaktuskid]

Iime to Carthagize Gaza. If we were ever bombarded by Canada or Mexico we would have leveled them.

[SkyDancer]

Hamas will wish they never poked the lion.

Have fun in your echo chamber.

Report in last few minutes indicates the largest high-rise in Gaza just got a “roof knock” from the IDF.

IF needed???? Get it done, Bibi. No more pussy-footing around

[FlyingEagle]

There are an endless supply of these holy fighter Hamass dudes. Israel needs to send in 1 missile for every Hamas member cell phone, before mosque “prayer” time ends on Friday.

Woe be it a Christian telling a Jew who is right... I spent two years in Israel and Christianity is in 3d place behind the Arabs of any faith. I have literally heard everything possible on Jesus and the Jews, but the 2020 year disagreement isn’t going to be settled by mere men. It will take God.
