Al-Quda Brigades of Islamic Jihad confirmed on Sunday that the airstrike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah had killed Khaled Mansour, the commander, and two fellow militants.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group said an Israeli airstrike late on Saturday killed its top commander for the southern Gaza Strip, a day after Israel killed the Iranian-backed group’s commander for northern Gaza in an air raid that triggered the worst cross-border conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants since the end of an 11-day war in 2021.

Al-Quda Brigades of Islamic Jihad confirmed on Sunday that the airstrike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah had killed Khaled Mansour, the commander, and two fellow militants.

It said five other civilians, including a child and three women, were also killed in the airstrike that flattened several homes in Rafah.

I saw videos of rockets going up, and coming right back down on their heads, so these deaths might have been from their own rockets failing.

Taking out a Jihad Islamic terrorist is like stepping on one ant in an ant colony, you need to wipe out the colony.

In the US military we have the “Chain of Command”… in the Palestinian military structure they have instituted the “Chain of Kaboom”! You Philistines want war? The top of the chain of kaboom gets the kinetic energy prize of the day from the IDF.
Looks like Biden taking out a high level jihadist in Afghanistan allows other countries in the world to take out their enemies in a similar fashion.
