IDF Kills Hamas Terrorists Trained in Iran, Syria [Steve Schippert]
THE TANK - NRO
If a reader doesn't make it to paragraphs eleven and twelve in today's New York Times article on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict now bubbling over in Gaza, the reader misses the following fundamental insight.
Palestinians said two of the militants killed in the first Israeli strike were Abdullah Edwan, a rocket engineer, and Muhammad Abu Aker, a rocket squad commander. Residents said the men were going to a training camp in southern Gaza. Two were masked, they said, and returned from Iran three weeks ago.
Relatives of Mr. Edwan, who was said to have been the main strike target, said he was trained in Syria and Iran. Two other militants were wounded, medical officials said.
Those are not Israeli claims, for what it's worth—that's the word from the families of the dead.
Shi'a terrorist groups and states and Sunni and terrorist groups, remember, will never cooperate in any meaningful way on terrorist training and operations because they are ideologically and philosophically opposed to each other. Right?
More Americans desperately need to get a better grasp of the scope of what we're up against. It isn't rocket science, but it does require a bit of attention.
More on that here if any are inclined.
Remember, Reading Is Fundamental.
