It presumptuous to think that the masterminds of this have already been hunted down and assassinated as Israel’s security agencies are “good at that”.
Do you think the head honchos were just sitting on an outside table at the local Starbucks or arrogantly riding in an open top Mercedes like Heydrich making themselves easy targets for the IDF?
You are getting your analogies grossly mixed up. It is the head generals of the IDF and the members of Netahanyu's government who are currently riding around like Heydrich.

IDF confirms deadly strike on refugee camp in Gaza.
According to the official Israeli government report:
" The refugee camp was a legitimate target because the barbarians in Hamas were using the refugees as shields to hide their subterranean tunnels. Naturally we had no choice but to destroy the shields. That was the only way we could also kill the animals hiding underneath".

nope
Israel deems the hundreds of men, women, and children as terrorists or potential terrorists to justify killing them. The Irony here is the Nazis put all the Jews in the one basket.

Israel is losing the propaganda war.

They're beginning to make the same mistakes the US did in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.

Re: The bombing of the Refugee Camp "A senior military commander has conceded the Israeli Defence Forces knew there were countless innocent men, women and children in a refugee camp it was targeting, but dropped bombs anyway". https://www.news.com.au/world/middle-ea ... 075140a598

We are witnessing Genocide and Hamas has given them the get-out-of-jail-free card.

yep I thought this morning when I heard they did this, that they just screwed themselves, its truly unforgivable. I mean it all is, but this is an extra slap in the face. Just cant believe they did it and are trying to justify it.

Reports from Sputnik News, still not verified as yet, that US troops are participating alongside the IDF in the onslaught on Gaza.

^ Might have to wait for a reliable source before giving that one any credence. I'd take anything from Sputnik with a grain of salt.

Yep. If you backtrack and try to figure out what Hamas hoped to gain by their brutal assault on civilians, it's like this response was anticipated and desired.

They pushed Benny Net's buttons perfectly. A more stable leader probably wouldn't have given them the reaction they wanted.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

It's also convenient for the Israeli hardliners who were losing more and more support among the citizens.
