IDF kills another senior Islamic Jihad commander as war seems imminent

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) took out a second senior Islamic Jihad commander in the southern part of the Gaza Strip late Saturday night, according to the Israeli government. This was the second top dog of the anti-Semites to bite the dust.

Israeli authorities announced the demise of Khaled Mansour on Saturday. He led he Iran-sponsored Islamic Jihad's operations just one day after Tayseer Jabari was blown away. Jabari was the senior Palestinian Jihad Commanding Officer in the Northern Gaza Division.

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid called the strike "an extraordinary achievement" conducted as a joint operation by the IDF and intelligence agencies. He added that the military will continue to launch strikes "in a pinpoint and responsible way in order to reduce to a minimum the harm to noncombatants." 

The latest strike along the Gaza Strip left 29 dead and was in retaliation of Palestinian Islamic Jihad's firing of hundreds of rockets indiscriminately targeting Israelis. When Israel responds to being attacked, the anti-Zionists across the globe, including some US congress members, blame Israel because they exist.

"The operation will continue as long as necessary," Lapid added.

A strike on Friday also took out the head of the anti-tank guided missile array and several terrorist squads as they were preparing attacks against Israel, the IDF said.

Palestinian officials said the airstrike left at least 15 people dead, including a senior militant leader and a 5-year-old girl. What they didn't say was how the PIJ targets little Israeli boys and girls and their mommies.  

What they also don't tell you is how the PIJ and Hamas use children as human shields and often fire rockets into Israel from or near schools and mosques knowing that Israel will not fire back to avoid harming non-combatants.

A joint statement from Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz said its goal was to eliminate the "threat against the citizens of Israel and the civilians living adjacent to the Gaza Strip, as well as the targeting of terrorists and their sponsors." They were likely referring to Iran since that's where the PIJ weapons come from.

"The Israeli government will not allow terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip to set the agenda in the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip and threaten the citizens of the State of Israel," Lapid said. "Anyone who tries to harm Israel should know: we will find you."

Rocket fire from Gaza into Israel continued as of Sunday morning.
