IDF to Continue Targeting Hamas Leadership
(Jerusalem Post) Arieh O'Sullivan - "Sheik Ahmad Yassin was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of civilians," said OC Ground Forces Services Maj.-Gen. Yiftach Rontal. "As long as no one on the Palestinian side will fight terror, it is the IDF which will continue to fight, hitting everyone involved in terror, including its leaders," he said. IDF Spokesperson Ruth Yaron said, "We have to safeguard the lives of our babies, our children, and our civilians. Terrorists will try kill whenever they can, so we have to try and stop it whenever we can," Yaron said. "Yassin not only led Hamas ideologically and spiritually, but he also personally gave authorization for some of the suicide bombings and other attacks," a senior IDF military intelligence officer said Monday.
