GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israel dropped a one-ton bomb on the home of a Hamas strongman Thursday, killing him along with two wives and four children in the first attack on the top leadership of Gaza's rulers. As the aerial bombardment escalated, the army said it was also poised to launch a ground invasion. Israel also appeared to be sounding out a possible diplomatic exit from the 6-day-old military offensive against Hamas by demanding international monitors as a key term of any future truce.
The bombing targeted 49-year-old Nizar Rayan, ranked among Hamas' top five decision-makers in Gaza. His four-story apartment building crashed to the ground, sending a thick plume of smoke into the air and heavily damaging neighboring buildings. It killed Rayan and 11 others, including two of his four wives and four of his 12 children, Palestinian health officials said. The Muslim faith allows men to have up to four wives.
Israel has made clear that no one in Hamas is immune in this offensive, and the strike that flattened Rayan's apartment building in the northern town of Jebaliya drove that message home.

Nuthin’ sez “Burn in hell you scum sucking camel humper” like a one ton bomb. Wonder if it was a metric ton? An extra 200 pounds of explosives to get the pant load to hell just a little quicker.
I was asked by my co worker what I thought about the war in Gaza, here is my response. “Before 9/11 I would tell Isreal to take it easy, but after 9/11, I don’t give a f__k, a good muzzie is a dead muzzie.”
I hope that the Israelis have a deck of “wanted” cards, or a checklist with the rest of the Hamas listed in priority.
I call this a good start, though.
ENEMEDIA Putzs!
Job well done.
One of Five; job not yet complete.
Screw the ground invasion. Drop those one ton bombs on the Hamas leadership until they are all dead. If more step up to take their place, repeat the process. If their wives and children are killed in the process, better than having Israeli soldiers killed. Pretty soon no one will want to be identified as a leader of Hamas.
Another Islamic mass murderer sent to his moon god.
I live for the day some MSM headline writer, somewhere, gives us something like "Hamas Rockets Escalate Conflict."
