Hamas threatens more war crimes

Hamas says it will kill Gilad Shalit if any Hamas leaders are targeted.

“If any of Hamas’ leaders are harmed, Israel can forget about Gilad Shalit,” said Saturday a spokesman for the Islamist group’s armed wing, the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

Speaking to reporters just a few hours after another IDF aerial attack on a Hamas position in Gaza left five Palestinians dead, Abu Obaida said, “Suicide bombings in Israel are just a matter of time and proper conditions…we can fire rockets even beyond Ashkelon, and we will resume the suicide bombings and kidnappings.”

Here’s the thing: Lynn-B is of the opinion—and I have come to agree with her—that Shalit, Regev, and Goldwasser are already dead. There has been no evidence whatsoever of proof of life, simply assurances by some people who have been told—not shown, told—that Shalit and his companions are still alive. This is a common tactic of the terrorists. They know that Israel will act differently for live soldiers, and they play it accordingly.

The Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades promised an “earth-shattering” response should Israel target Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh or any other senior Hamas member.

“The Zionist enemy must realize one thing and that is that it can forget about the soldier Shalit if it harms one of Hamas’ political or military leaders,” Abu Obaida said, adding that his group is in possession of advanced weapons that “will be used against Israel sooner or later”.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, open the gates of hell, blah blah blah.

The thing is, the IDF is just toying with Hamas when it does not destroy the leadership. Stop sending these messages:

Later Palestinian sources reported of another Israeli attack on a Hamas post in the Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza. At least two people were injured in the attack, they said.

According to the sources, the post that was attacked is located near the home of Hamas Special Forces commander, Abu Obaid al-Jarrah.

Send the real thing. Take out Meshaal, Haniyeh, and al-Zahar. Take out the leadership. All of them. Because the bastards are still launching kassams, and hitting civilians.

A Sderot resident sustained light injuries from shrapnel when one of the rockets hit his apartment building. A second rocket fired at the southern city landed on a street, in close proximity to another apartment building. One person was treated for shock.

The summer war has begun. It just hasn’t been declared.
