3 victories scored against terrorist leaders
Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran on Wednesday using an explosive device that had been covertly hidden in the guest house where he was staying, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.Well it's good that whoever blew Haniyeh to hell was able to get through and prepare everything. This is most important victory in the war against Islamic terrorism. National Review's editors say it's a good thing Haniyeh's been terminated.
According to the source, who had been briefed on the operation, the bomb was concealed about two months ago in the guest house where Haniyeh was known to stay in Tehran and detonated remotely once he was inside his room there.
[...] Iranian state media and Hamas previously indicated that Haniyeh was killed by a rocket fired from outside the building in which he was staying.
But the revelation that a bomb was smuggled inside the guest house, which was under the protection of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, indicates a startling breach of security for the IRGC.
Next, there's Fuad Shukr, a Hezbollah overlord:
The Israel Defense Forces struck a building in southern Beirut on Tuesday evening, killing the Hezbollah terror group’s most senior military commander, who Israel said was responsible for Saturday’s deadly rocket attack on Majdal Shams.It should be recalled, as noted previously, that Ronald Reagan did nothing to put an end to monsters like Shukr, since all Reagan did was withdraw all troops from Lebanon after the tragedy, when here, it's possible that if the USA government at the time wanted, they could've tracked down all the terrorists responsible and wiped them out. Instead, Reagan prolonged the situation by retreating, and gave the conservative movement a very humiliating defeat and embarrassment at the time. This just can't be overlooked, since it makes his government look almost as incompetant as any leftist government since.
Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah’s most senior military commander and a right-hand man to terror leader Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in the strike, which blew a large hole into the side of an eight-story apartment building in southern Beirut, the IDF said late Tuesday.
[...] The military took credit for the airstrike carried out by Israeli Air Force fighter jets, saying Shukr had been killed in the attack.
In a statement, the IDF said that Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsin, was responsible for the Saturday Majdal Shams strike, as well as other deadly attacks on Israel. Since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught in southern Israel, Shukr has been managing Hezbollah’s near-daily attacks against Israel, according to the military.
Shukr sat on the Jihad Council, Hezbollah’s top military body, and was the head of its strategic division, the military said.
He was named by the IDF several years ago as a commander of Hezbollah’s precision missile project. He is also wanted by the United States for his role in the 1983 bombing of a US Marines barracks in Beirut, with a $5 million bounty placed on his head by Washington.
The third victory scored was against Mohammed Deif of Hamas, though this appears to have occurred a few weeks ago and is only being fully confirmed now:
The IDF confirmed 100% that its July 13 airstrike targeting Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif succeeded in killing him, in an announcement on Thursday.This too makes for a vital victory. Even so, it's clear the whole war's not over, and we'll still need to remain vigilant in the time being for quite a while.
The military said that only in recent hours it had received additional intelligence to confirm Deif's death to a complete certainty, taking into account that the defense establishment had been confident for the last two weeks that its air strike had killed him.
