IDF confirms it killed Mohammed Deif in Khan Yunis attack

[Beastly Boy]

The IDF on Thursday confirmed 100% that its July 13 airstrike targeting Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif succeeded in killing him.

The military said that only in recent hours it had received additional intelligence to confirm Deif's death to a complete certainty, taking into account that the defense establishment had been confident for the last two weeks that its air strike had killed him.

Pressed, the IDF would not only not reveal what the new confirmatory information was, but would also not share what category of information it was. In such cases in the past, the information is often a very sensitive human spy or a very sensitive electronic spying element which the defense establishment feels would be lost if even a hint of who or what it was comes out.

IDF sources indicated that some members of Hamas and Hezbollah have known for some time that Deif was dead, but that others may not have known because portions of Hamas are currently cut off from the broader Hamas operational network.

"" Do you seriously think that if Netanyahu and his cabinet were not in power in Israel
Haniyeh would not have been taken out under similar circumstances?
Do you think any other sovereign state with the capacity to do so would not have taken out Haniyeh under similar circumstances?

Get real. ""

7. Some, "al-Ghoul" seems a not inappropriate name.

It's a sort of shoe-cabbage, at least in its Anglicized pronunciation.

A "shoe-cabbage" is a pair of words in different languages that have the same pronunciation but different meanings.

French choux 'cabbage'.

I rather think that Russian shit' 'to sew' also qualifies, even if the vowels are a bit off.

IDF eliminates senior Islamic Jihad commander, terrorists in Gaza

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reported on Friday it had eliminated Islamic Jihad commander Mohammed al-Jabari, the terror group’s deputy head of weapons manufacturing. “During a targeted, intelligence-based operation, the IDF eliminated the terrorist. Al-Jabari was responsible for financing weapons manufacturing infrastructure for the Islamic Jihad in northern Gaza, the distribution of salaries and funds, and was part of attempts to restore the Islamic Jihad’s rocket manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure,” the military said. “Moreover, troops are continuing precise, intelligence-based operational activities in the area of Rafah. Over the past day, IDF troops eliminated approximately 30 terrorists during close-quarters encounters and in aerial strikes.”
