Israeli airstrike kills top Hamas commander as Netanyahu vows ‘iron fist if needed’

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.

Great Evil stalks Israel. But the Great Evil will in the end be totally defeated.

Christians are grafted to the Jews. And we are hated by Israel’s enemies too.

Yes, and we did help them under President Trump.

He and Bibi were friends for a very long time.

The #ComDem’s chose poorly. They will pay for their support of the Great Evil.

Will the USA go down because of them?

We will see.

Of course, that is exactly what the ComDem’s want. To destroy Israel.

That has been tried before. There is a price that is extracted for that.
