HAMAS Leader Killed

Happy Monday morning, courtesy of the Israeli Defence Forces!

“Their bodies were shattered,” he was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.

Outside the morgue at Shifa Hospital, Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh confirmed Sheikh Yassin’s death.

“This is the moment Sheikh Yassin dreamed about,” he said, with tears in his eyes.

“Sheikh Yassin lived and died and offered his life to Palestine. Sheikh Yassin was a hero and a fighter and the leader of a nation, and [he] is in heaven now.”

Hamas militants, shouting through loudspeakers in the streets of Gaza City, vowed to avenge his death.

“We will send death to every house, every city, every street in Israel.”

Now knowing this would happen, I wonder what the IDF intended to acheive with this attack? I suppose we’ll see in the next few months when Arafat is dragged out of Ramallah and dumped in Jordan somewhere.
