The Israelis have once again demonstrated their resolve in the face of barbarism.
On Tuesday, authorities announced they had foiled a major terrorist plot targeting Israeli interests abroad - a scheme they described as one of the gravest in recent memory. In a precision strike, the IDF and Shin Bet took out Hassan Ali Mahmoud Bdeir, a senior Hezbollah operative in Beirut's Dahieh district, a stronghold of the terrorist group.
Bdeir, it seems, was no mere foot soldier, but a key player in Hezbollah's Unit 3900 and Iran's Quds Force. Israeli intelligence revealed he was the linchpin in an unholy alliance between Hezbollah and Hamas - a rare coming together of Shiite and Sunni fanatics.

Their plan? A large-scale attack abroad that could have left hundreds of Israelis dead.
The operation was the fruit of a long intelligence effort by a crack Shin Bet unit dedicated to smashing Hamas' overseas networks - networks that have been especially busy since the killing of Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut last year. With Military Intelligence providing support and the Israeli Air Force delivering the fatal blow, the strike was a triumph of coordination and will.
Shin Bet and IDF chiefs say this prevented a catastrophe and dealt a serious setback to Hezbollah-Hamas collaboration beyond Israel's borders.

Hamas' tentacles, we are told, stretch from Turkey to the edges of Europe. Meanwhile, in a related development, Israeli flights have been barred from Paphos, Cyprus since January over unspecified "security concerns", now landing in Larnaca instead for a 90-minute trek to Paphos each way.
Once more, Israel stands as a bulwark against those who would slaughter the innocent. The civilized world should take note.
