Targeted Killings May Help Prevent Wars and Save Lives
(Los Angeles Jewish Journal) David Suissa - The targeted killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and the #2 man in Hizbullah, Fouad Shukr, "will undoubtedly impact Hamas and Hizbullah capabilities going forward," said Israel Policy Forum analyst Michael Koplow. "The aim was to demonstrate to Iran that Israel is not the paper tiger on the verge of collapse that many of Israel's foes increasingly see when they look toward Jerusalem, and to put to rest any doubts about Israeli capabilities." If your goal is to deter your enemy, taking down the top players can be highly effective. You want the kind of enemy who is afraid of making the wrong move.
