It took them nine months to finally target a “Hamas leader”, and they assassinate a political, not military, leader after butchering every single family member of his beforehand.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
There have been several leaders killed over the past months.
"Truly, we belong to God, and truly, to Him we shall return." (Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un)
Genocide against people of Muslim faith will make them deeper believers : israNazism in action.
N.B. The Arabic word "Allah" is typically translated to English as "God".
I love the idea that half the people in this thread don't understand that 2 things can be bad at once.
You don't have to fellate Hamas to see Israel is genociding.
Also, dismissing Hamas as lame terrorists doesn't mean one is a "Zionist" or whatever the ascribed insult is this week.
So they killed one of the negotiators, and who is considered moderate and more diplomatic.
I wonder how the relatives of the hostages still held in Gaza feel about it. Israel is doing everything possible to hijack the ceasefire negotiations process.
And he will not be missed
BBC is calling him a key figure in ceasefire negotiations:

So Hamas or not, interesting choice of target by the genocidal apartheid state.
Edit: and Al Jazeera says:
Turkish politicians view Haniyeh as a dedicated figure who has tirelessly worked to broker a ceasefire, frequently travelling between Doha and Istanbul.
Looks to me like a natural choice: the visible head of Hamas, which is the enemy. I don't think Israel is interested in peace negotiations, so it is also a way to say they don't care and they will wipe out everyone there. Which is in line with everything else Bibi & company have been saying and doing.
So, who planned the Oct 7th attack? Fuck hamas and fuck bibi and his fascists for using them for his fascist politics.
I wonder what level of security these people follow, considering they know Israel could kill them at any time.
It seems almost ridiculous that Iran can't prevent precision air strikes within its own borders.
Also wasn't this the dude responsible for leading the ceasefire negotiations bruh
Israel has access to American spy sats. Haniyeh's location would be a poor kept secret as he show up publicly for the presidential inauguration of the Iranian president on tuesday.
Destroying things with bombs and missiles is a lot easier than stopping the missiles. Even Iran managed to strike Israeli military locations beginning this year through the biggest defense layer in the world.
Interesting. It almost reads like a PR statement, restrained, not too inflammatory, like someone threw him under the bus.
The trouble with killing the people who say the propaganda is you eventually end with the people who believe the propganda in charge. This was a consistent takeaway from the war on terror. If Israel were looking to prolong the war, taking out the relative moderates would probably help.
Genuinely curiuos why this comment in particular got obliterated. Do people dispute the premise that the leaders are more rational then the followers?
Not "Israel " but Netanyahu and the religious extreamist. Israel wants to release all the hostages and end the useless war already
When did Ismael made a propaganda statement. He is a diplomatic office leader. His job is to meet and speak with other power in region.

Here's a picture of the 2 confirmed victims of that first strike you're referring to.
Edit for sake of accuracy: Hezballah just confirmed the death of their targeted member after previously claiming he survived which should put death toll at 4 including a woman and the 2 mentioned kids along with 74 injured in the strike
