An elite Hamas commander who led one of the most horrific attacks on Israeli kibbutzim Oct. 7, 2023, was killed in a targeted strike in southern Gaza, the Israel Defense Force announced Tuesday.
Abd al-Hadi Sabah, the head of the terror group’s Nukhba platoon in Hamas’s West Khan Younis Battalion, was wiped out during an intelligence-based attack in a Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in Khan Younis, according to military officials.
Officials said measures were taken to minimize civilian harm during the operation, led by the IDF and the Israel Security Agency.


Someone will not be seeing 2025...
 
He was a legitimate target, so I don't see a problem.

We should also acknowledge that there are no " safe zones" in Gaza, obviously.

Any area containing a known terrorist is a legitimate target zone. Note to civilians: Take Note.

Then don't say/claim there are " safe zones" in Gaza for the Palestinians to go to to be safe?

Your ignorance on the laws of war are showing. There is a thing called proportionality in warfare and it's been pretty clear that Israel haven't taken it seriously enough leading to justifiable claims of war crimes on this point.

There are no SAFE zones. There are More dangerous zones and Less dangerous zones, depending on the density of legitimate targets. If I were Palestinian, I would do my best to be a hermit.

If you were a Palestinian you wouldn't be so accepting of the atrocities being committed by the rogue state of Israel.

And maybe not of the rabid ragheads who do everything in their power to provoke Israel, and then use me and my family as human shields. If I had a handgun, I might shoot them in the back.

The only "rabid" thing on display is the racism in your posts
 
".....that left dozens dead"??????


How about "....in which dozens were summarily executed at point blank range for the crime of being a Jew."?
 
As difficult as it may be to believe, the razing of Gaza is precisely what Hamas expected and wanted as a consequence of slaughtering over 1200 people at point-blank range and taking 254 hostages. It would be absurd to think that Hamas did not know that Israel would respond militarily exactly as it had always done, and that multitudes of Gazans behind whom they always hide would be killed. They knew that the hospitals and schools under which they built their tunnel network would be destroyed. A massive, lethal response by Israel was far too predictable for it not to have been part of Hamas' plan.

To the civilized mind, this approach seems unconscionably barbaric and self-destructive, but to strictly observant Muslims who see this life as nothing more than a probationary period for admittance to paradise, it makes perfect sense. The Qur'an teaches them, "(2:154) Do not consider those who are slain for the cause of Allah to be dead. They are alive but you are unaware of them", and "(9:111) Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah's Cause, so they kill and are killed." Every civilian death creates another martyr in the holy cause of destroying Israel while Hamas and international demonstrators cry crocodile tears and shout 'genocide' for the benefit of Western cameras. But, behind the curtain, their religious beliefs allow them to rationalize that the civilians they conscript as propaganda fodder will live forever in paradise. Win-win.
