Good News for Once

The head of the military forces of Hamas has been killed by Israeli action in Gaza. At the same time, Israeli air forces struck at missile storage facilities and other weapons storage areas in the Gaza Strip. The dead Hamas leader Ahmed al-Jaabari is the highest level terrorist to be killed by the Israelis in years.

The response has been predictable. Hamas is calling for war. So what else is new? Iran is outraged that Israel would kill a terrorist leader. Again, what else is new?

The truth, however, is that this strike is a very good move by the Israelis. It is important for those who have been indiscriminately firing missiles into southern Israel to come to understand that their days are numbered.
