Israel Assassinates Hamas Army's "Chief Of Staff" In Precision Airstrike, Hamas Vows "Infernal" Response
Update: Israel CDS 145/155, +6 bps
In a move that is certain to aggravate the already frayed relations between Israel and the Palestine, not to mention send Brent spiking, moments ago the IAF, in a precision airstrike, assassinated Ahmed Jaabari, the head of Hamas' armed wing - a position that is equivalent to Chief of Staff - together with his son, who were travelling in a car at the moment of the strike. And, as expected, the furious Hamas response has already been logged and promises much more death and escalation in the near term.
From Times of Israel:
The IDF confirmed the airstrike on Jaabari and said that it had launched a “widespread campaign on terror sites and operatives in the Gaza Strip, chief among them Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets.”
“By nature of his position, Jaabari has been responsible over the past decade for all anti-Israel terror activity emanating from the [Gaza] Strip, the Shin Bet security agency said in a statement.
Palestinians reported that there had been additional IAF airstrikes in Khan Yunis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Jaabari was credited with being one of the leaders of Hamas’s violent putsch to take control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, and masterminded the professionalization of the Hamas military.
Israel attempted to kill Jaabari in an airstrike in 2004, but ended up killing his eldest son, his brother, and several cousins instead.
Israel's official stance, is that the assassination is in retaliation to a recent surge in shelling out of Gaza:
On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would not abide the ongoing rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.
“The IDF is operating, and will operate forcefully against the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, which are sustaining heavy blows from the IDF,” the prime minister said. “The world needs to understand that Israel will not sit idly by in the face of attempts to attack us. We are prepared to intensify the response.”
Although the prime minister didn’t mention any specific avenues of action, Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe Ya’alon was more specific. “There’s no doubt that in the past two weeks we’ve been witnessing an escalation, which Hamas is responsible for,” Ya’alon told Israel Radio on Sunday. “We aren’t going to let this stand.”
Of course, Hamas has its own reasons to escalate the shelling, which in its view is justified due to ongoing killings by Israel, and so on, and so on, since the beginning of time. And as was to be expected, moments ago:
- HAMAS SAYS ISRAELI STRIKE HAS "OPENED THE GATES OF HELL"
In other words, Israel is now waging three potential offensive campaigns: Syria, Iran and Gaza. This too, shall end well. If not for everyone, then certainly for Brent bulls.
And from the IDF's blog:
In the past hour, the IDF targeted Ahmed Jabri, the head of Hamas’ military wing, in the Gaza Strip. Jabri was a senior Hamas operative who served in the upper echelon of the Hamas’ command and was directly responsible for executing terror attacks against the State of Israel in the past number of years.
The purpose of this operation was to severely impair the command and control chain of the Hamas leadership, as well as its terrorist infrastructure. This was a surgical operation in cooperation with the Israeli Security Agency, that was implemented on the basis of concrete intelligence and using advanced capabilities.
Ahmed Jabari (far right)
The IDF will continue to target sites that are used for carrying out terror attacks against the citizens of Israel while improving their daily security.

I wonder where the IAF got those precision weapons. They hate us for our freedumbs.
Israel will stop at nothing to start WWIII and the Arabs will happily accept the dance!
BURN ISRAEL! BURRRRRNNN!!!

Israel has done it this time, now Hamas is going to declare double-dog jihad on them!
Once Israel is bombed into a parking lot, they'll have more room for elitemobile parking

@Troll Magnet
You moron. This was a big step towards war and we do not want that.
You moron. What YOU or I want is IRRELEVANT, you fucking douchebag. Wake the fuck up.
Speaking of irrelevant, you got a mirror?
hey jew.
There are Jew cows now?
yeah. it's a central banking cow.
I don't get it...so much anti-Israel sentiment. Arabs and Hamas have an open and admitted policy that they want to kill every Jew in the world and eliminate Israel from the map. Their culture/religion wants religious rule for the globe...that includes us. They openly shout death to USA...that includes us. Muslims attacked US on Sep 11 on our soil. They killed our ambassador several weeks ago. If every American on this site were walking around in a Hamas countrolled village in the Middle East they would likely be taken captive and killed because they're American. AND STILL....................
People take their side against Israel?
How stupid and naive are these people? This is the same mentality that's causing our Constitution to be trampled on here at home. I don't support our wars in the Middle East and other US Empire actions but I have no problem with the Israeli's taking out this known killer and anti-American/anti-Israeli terrorist. Obviously, some here just don't understand how the world works or are motivated by sheer racism and prejudice instead of logic and reason.
Is that you MDB? Well done.
LOL.
EDIT: I junked you for your 9/11 and Benghazi propaganda and poor understanding of the concept "blowback". Get your facts straight dummie.
Talking of the middle east , how did Stvens funeral go anyone?
Why not ask Hilary Clinton about that? Obviously some posters here arent up to speed on the Benghazi issue.
"Muslims attacked US on Sep 11 on our soil. They killed our ambassador several weeks ago"?
That passes the smell test at ZH now? Give me a fucking break.
Don't you know? Eventually any good site will attract neonazis and other scum so they can ventilate their hate for Jews. Neonazis and other scum voting down my post in 3, 2, 1...
BURN ISRAEL! BURRRRRNNN!!!

<--- not so much
you got a lot of down votes, let's do a poll!

All you fucking magnets know how to do is shit in other people's mailboxes.
Wrong......that was Blythe taking out a big silver stacker
Israel will stop at nothing...Iran is determined to...Syria persists in...Hamas is unwearyingly relentless in its...Egypt remains steadfast...The U.S will strengthen its resolve...blah, blah, blah
Oh boy here we go. Wonder how long it'll be till Obama gives the green light for another kinetic action ( for humanitarian reasons of course ). Not like he has to worry about reelection again.
Yeah, he's more 'flexible' now...which means he's able to give 'reach arounds' on a Global scale now...
Shhh. He's lining up his putt on #4. "Hey Petraus, hand me the Billy Baroo."

Perhaps they would say that the squid-like "Dark Heart" clutching at this planet for the past 26,000 years is about to come undone in a quite sudden, unexpected manner. Its going to be a nasty demise but in the end, Truth and Goodwill will prevail.
Oh, the Mayan thing? That's when I come to terms with the fact that I am One: that I am the Jew killing the Arab; that I am the Arab killing the Jew; that I am the writer and reader of this line, making comments about My own destruction.

If he means black rock as in CBS' HQ in NYC, then he's right. War makes good TV.

Hello, State Fram...Say listen...I loaned my brother in law my car and uh...........
I can see it now, tens of thousands of drones over americas freeways dropping bombs on every new silver colored car...
Hamas - so that's how they make the bean dip for crackers?
Think they'll find enough bits to DNA test? Maybe he's in interrogation now. Or maybe martyrdom didn't sound so good anymore and he flipped.
No casket...small jar.
We will have SO MUCH to be thankful for this month....and Christmas Presents next month!
Time for the alien technology to be announced and on to the jubilee.
seriously.
they decided to go with a world police state this time... no jubliee required.
forgive me for being jaded...but blah blah blah....open up a newspaper 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, same shit, different day......"israel kills hamas leader, hamas vows end of the world for israel".....blahdeeblahdeeblah...........
move along, we have an economic collapse party to attend................
Usury and counterfeiting verses a sound monetary system. The battle has been around since the beginning of time, it's also known as good verses evil. In case you think you're on the side of good, Israel is the origin of Usury and counterfeit paper money, and is therefore NOT the good nation they pretend to be. Do not believe their lies
@enslave--wtf are you talking about???? heh??? the first paper currency appeared in CHINA, around the 7th century......get your facts straight.............
And them Chinese HATED it so, the govvy had to go back to a hard currency. It worked out better a few hundred years later though.
The Jews have perfected the use of fiat to enslave nations through unpayable loans
You lost me at "verses."

You other name is "SpellingNazi" right? Ooops, maybe Nazi wasn't the best descriptor for this article...
"Your"
This is just fucking ridiculous. I have tried to be a person who doesn't blame Isreal for everything, but this time I just have to say WTF?
Why wouod you try not to blame israel? You need to turn off that jew tube.
Because I don't condemn a whole society based on the actions of the people in positions of power. I don't blame the Arab world for all the ills of the middle east, and I don't think the Jews control everything. By the way television is not something that I waste a lot of time with. I have more important things to do besides listening to the propoganda coming from it.

take what israel just did, and multiply it by 20....and thats what you get with obamadrones............on a daily basis................
How long before the obamadrones are striking in the U.S? This should be a wake up call for people.....

very sad
I'm betting by June of 2013, my wife thinks they'll hold off til early 2014.
We may need to start an official ZH pool.
But israel is a supremacist state-it was founded as a supremacist state-check out Ben-Gurion's speech. And Talmudic judaism is a supremacist religion. So aren't israeli jews and jews who support israel supremacists?
Randall, Israel was created because no one would take their people. They needed a home.
Cuz nobody was that dumb. That would be tantamount to letting Mongolians setup camp in our fields. That never works out well.
Are you saying Mongolians are one of the lost tribes?
Bullshit.
Jews were all over the world during the wars.
Which wars are you talking about. There have been plenty of wars in the Jewish homelands... before Greek times, before Roman times, before British times, before American times.
I got your back Doc, feel the same way. I don't agree with or support what my leaders do. I am not the queen of the drones, don't bomb in my name. I know a lot of jews who hate this shit, many younger ones say give em the strip and cut the crap already. They just want to have a good time and live their lives. Overgeneralizing is dangerous.
I appreciate it MsCreant. I agree painting everybody with a broad brush does nothing except make the problems worse. If we could just take the war mongering fools in society and let them hash their differences out in some far off land life would be much more pleasnant.
The sticking point isn't gaza. You could give the arabs all of Isreal except for Jerusalem and they wouldn't accept. It's a no deal scenario without full control of Jerusalem. Neither side will give it up. To be fair, I'd rather it go to the Jews, since they aren't in the habit of blowing up ancient religious art and artifacts, at least not recently.
"By the way television is not something that I waste a lot of time with"
Then where did the Pavlovian response to defend israel come from?
Seriously, those guys could have been on their way to Norway to collect a peace prize.
Yeah. In the interest of peace they should have allowed Hamas to continue to mortar them and not respond. Got to let Hamas vent their anger against the Zionists in some way.
Obama has given the all-clear now that the elections are out of the way.
I was just thinking this morning how quiet the Israeli's had been
since Obummer got re coronated/ cannonized.
I won't mention what else I was ruminating about, just in case
its cause and effect.
Aesop had this one figuered out.. I don't of the Isreali Jews or the Palistinians are the snake or wasp, but ..
THE WASP AND THE SNAKE
A Wasp settled on the head of a Snake, and not only stung him several times, but clung obstinately to the head of his victim. Maddened with pain the Snake tried every means he could think of to get rid of the creature, but without success. At last he became desperate, and crying, "Kill you I will, even at the cost of my own life," he laid his head with the Wasp on it under the wheel of a passing waggon, and they both perished together.
Dig two graves...

Which one is Iran?

who's car just got droned and by whom? .. does that answer your question.
I take position of Ron Paul on Iran.
The wagon wheel. Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week. try the fish.
Is that a Kia?
WAS a Kia.
I think it was a Fisker Karma. Those are becoming increasingly popular at riots and flag burnings because they don't need any ignition to combust.
The occupants were definately K I A
I was thinking chevy volt, did they throw water on it?
New Jersey sea water. Needs a little hair grease to keep things combusting.
I thought America loves rooting for the underdog ?
nope, these days America loves bombing the underdog. because our masters tell us its better to be on the 'winning' side, even if you end up in hell. or something.
Who's the underdog? Israel because it is surrounded by enemies? Or Hamas because they don't have precision guided weapons?
Are we sure that car was bombed or is it a Volt?
Volt explosion caused by heavy rain?
tyler why is facebook going up?
Because some knuckleheads are willing to pay a higher price. Duh!
manipulation.
Don't you know that "smart" funds were "waiting" for the 800 million shares to be "released" for consumption? The previous holders of these shares really didn't want to let them go but are doing investors a "favor" by "allowing" them access. Also their mobile ad sales were not negative so...they got that going for them.
FB employees must be crazy to sit on a stock given to them after a fall of 50% in 6 months! Surely smart funds already have got burned by the IPO .. why would they want to come back for more. Ive got no axe here, im just curious about whats going on to cause such a sharp move on a day that a much talked about lockup comes due .. i logged in and expected a 10% drop not rise!
Are you new to the "new normal" markets? This makes perfect sense in a (to steal someone's oft used term) ManBernKrug world. If you want to know what to do, take your logical and thought out expectations and do the opposite. This is NewSpeak101.

Fortunately our fearless leader already has 1 Nobel Peace Prize as does the EU. Israel and Hamas are shoe ins for the next one.
Irony can be a bitch.
It's amazing 'The Chosen People' have been allowed to take the place of Nazi Germany for decades. Who needs Hitler when you gots a Bibi-gun.

1 "In those days and at that time, when I will make things better for Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather all the nations together and bring them down into the Valley Where the Lord Judges. There I will judge them, because those nations scattered my own people Israel and forced them to live in other nations. They divided up my land 3 and threw lots for my people. They traded boys for prostitutes, and they sold girls to buy wine to drink. 4 "Tyre and Sidon and all of you regions of Philistia! What did you have against me? Were you punishing me for something I did, or were you doing something to hurt me? I will very quickly do to you what you have done to me. 5 You took my silver and gold, and you put my precious treasures in your temples. 6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks so that you could send them far from their land. 7 "You sent my people to that faraway place, but I will get them and bring them back, and I will do to you what you have done to them. 8 I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabean people far away." The Lord said this. 9 Announce this among the nations: Prepare for war! Wake up the soldiers! Let all the men of war come near and attack. 10 Make swords from your plows, and make spears from your hooks for trimming trees. Let even the weak person say, "I am a soldier." 11 All of you nations, hurry, and come together in that place. Lord, send your soldiers to gather the nations. 12 "Wake up, nations, and come to attack in the Valley Where the Lord Judges. There I will sit to judge all the nations on every side. 13 Swing the cutting tool, because the harvest is ripe. Come, walk on them as you would walk on grapes to get their juice, because the winepress is full and the barrels are spilling over, because these people are so evil!" 14 There are huge numbers of people in the Valley of Decision, because the Lord's day of judging is near in the Valley of Decision. 15 The sun and the moon will become dark, and the stars will stop shining. 16 The Lord will roar like a lion from Jerusalem; his loud voice will thunder from that city, and the sky and the earth will shake. But the Lord will be a safe place for his people, a strong place of safety for the people of Israel. 17 "Then you will know that I, the Lord your God, live on my holy Mount Zion. Jerusalem will be a holy place, and strangers will never even go through it again. Joel 3
Why would God need all this drama? If God exists, he/she can roll up a lot more heavy than this crap. Who needs a soldier or a nuke? Your will is enough.
I do not disrespect religion or one's right to believe. Some good things can come out of it. Much of this does not make sense to me. I look to other sources for understanding all this. History. Social sciences. Physical sciences. Philosophy. The funny thing is when you play them all out, they all come to the same place. We just are.
how can state terrorism be condoned. Period.
Are you asking "how" can Hamas sponsor terrorism? Or the IDF?
At least it wasn't one of their own citizens they blew up.
Looks like an opened can of Spam.
Is this the arch-duke moment we have been waiting for so long to appear?
