Good. But it would have been better if you had destroyed it altogether. That would draw down the hatred of the world upon you, but you’re already largely the target of that. To destroy Hamas utterly would have been a tremendous service to future generations of Israelis and people the world over.
“Netanyahu: ‘We have set Hamas back years,’” World Israel News, May 18, 2021:
“They received blows that they didn’t expect. And I have no doubt we set them back years,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video from the Hatzerim Air Base, located on the outskirts of Beer Sheba, on Tuesday evening.
He made his remarks after receiving an IDF briefing on the damage inflicted on Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
“We will continue as needed to return quiet to all citizens of Israel,” he said.
“Our enemies are watching the blows Hamas has absorbed – and I am sure they will also draw lessons,” Netanyahu added.
On Tuesday, IDF fighter jets struck terror infrastructure located in three Hamas control centers in the Gaza Strip.
The various terror infrastructures were used by the terror organization for military purposes, while some of them were also used in previous operations.
The operational apartments belonged to Hamas operatives, including those of Ja’adi Cha’alah, company commander in the Hamas ‘Al-Farqin’ Battalion, Jamal Alaeda, company commander in the Hamas “Northern” Battalion, and Muhammad Shuaf, company commander in the Hamas ‘Nuhba’ Battalion.
The IDF says it has struck command and control centers located in the residences of 12 senior Hamas commanders in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours….

israel must finish hamas and its funders in iran
ploome says
Israel was not ALLOWED to finish Hamas. I am sure Biden threaten Israel to withhold Iron Dome replacements if Israel did not obey.
What it it about never ending jihad the world refuses to comprehend?
maria says
Yes hamas and must annihilated and Gaza terroritory must go back to israel. And all the parts of Israel where there are muslims must have more soldiers to help the Jewish people.
Muslims are animals like BLM they are not like human beings
mortimer says
I wish Netanyahu’s boast were true (‘Our enemies will draw lessons’). I don’t think Muslims learn from history, because they don’t read it. They read the hadiths … propaganda about Mohammed written 200 years after his supposed death.
Muslims believe rumors and draw lessons from the rumors. I’m sure many delusional Pallies will believe this exercise in Gaza was a great victory for Islam, even though Hamas is being systemically interdicted and demolished.
The Pally jihadists live on their own separate, delusional planet. Reality has nothing to do with it.
Andalusia Christos says
You couldn’t be more correct if the world depended on it.
commonsense says
Agree wholeheartedly.
Clive Delmonte says
Israel needs to capture and imprison senior Hamas commanders before it is forced to stop the military operation.
In addition it needs to lob a few missiles into the Iranian oil fields to give these Satanists a direct interest in peace before they acquire nuclear weapons which will dish out to their lackeys. These Satanists are not as popular in Iran as they pretend. Israel needs to give a good kicking because they are orchestrating the whole offensive against Israel from Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.
Let the smug Satanists in Teheran learn that there is a downside to fighting Israel to the last “Palestinian”!
Andalusia Christos says
FACT!!!!
Frank Anderson says
C.D., no nation in history has ever aspired to obtain nuclear weapons and failed. To pretend that Iran does not have nuclear weapons NOW after a decade plus of cooperation with North Korea and more or less 40 years of working on its own production is delusional. They have SOME bombs now. When they get enough for their purpose, the bombs will be used.
Raja says
Frank Anderson,
Your observation might be very true.
Raja says
CE,
The day is not very far when Islam, the parasitic ideology is eradicated from the face of the earth.It is being challenged in Iran, contained in China. Islam is behaving in an ugly manner in Africa viz a viz Christian population but is being resisted. We are in for a renaissance in most part of the world when we are critical of Islam. Thank goodness, the world is questioning if the Israel vs Hamas is a religious war. Even noble laureate Malala is not above criticism in the social media.
Without Islam, the world won’t have half of the problems it is facing today, its allies, the Left, needs to be dealt with sooner or later as they share a similar destructive ideology.
Jim says
Years go by quickly and Hamas can surely make a comeback, aided by The Biden presidency and its affection for Iran.
Solstice says
Destroying Hamas completely would entail a full-scale Israeli invasion and occupation of the Gaza Strip, which would be far more costly to Israel than engaging in brief wars with Hamas every few years.
Infidel says
Not if after heavy shelling, they enter the Gaza and expel all muslims there – Palis, Hamas, PA, PLO, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, whatever…. Israel should re-occupy and annex it to Israel proper, just like they did the Golan Heights. Anyone who protests, tell them that those are the consequences of Israel getting shelled daily by Hamas in return for handing that territory over
mgoldberg says
Reminds me of the destruction of the Osirik nuclear reactor that Israel destroyed in 1982? Israel was roundly condemned for this action which thankfully prevented an unbelievably dreadful, dangerous situation with Iraq 9 yrs later. We should have thanked the israeli’s and given them ticker tape parades for preventing unbelievable problems but no- that didn’t happen. Similarly, we are in a state where the unbelievable achievements of President Trump’s diplomatic achievements with the Abrahamic accords are denied by the whole democratic administration, in favor of true appeasement with Iran.

………….
I *hope so*. Bravo Bibi!
And he has had to do this with one arm tied behind his back.
BlackSabbath says
Thank you Mr. Netanyahu for your determination and response to rabid mohammadeans.
Frank Anderson says
B.S., this is what islam teaches and “those who submit” practice. It is normal, standard, orthodox, perfect compliance of the “final, perfect, complete and unchangeable” teachings for 1400 years and between 250 and 1000 MILLION dead people.
