Israeli Strike in Gaza Kills a Hamas Leader and 14 Others

You have to admit, Sheik Salah Shehada (who is now confirmed dead) was a handsome man.

"There is nothing in our hands but to respond with whatever power we have," said Dr. Mahmoud al-Zahar, a political leader of Hamas, who went to Shifa Hospital to identify the dead. "Every Israeli is a target now. No one will stop us from defending ourselves." Speaking by telephone, Dr. Zahar said he had seen the body parts of several children.

You mean every Israelis wasn't a target already? You could have fooled me.

The difference between the Israelis and the terrorists is this. The Israelis feel bad about killing civilians -- if any of the dead actually were civilians -- and try not to. They won't sacrifice their own people for this, but it's a goal. Hamas and related groups not only don't worry about killing civilians, they actively target them. And then they issue hypocritical statements about how it's the Israelis who are.
