Laws of Revenge

Ismail Haniyeh (1962/1963 – 31 July 2024) was a Palestinian terrorist leader who was the political leader of  Hamas  that has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007.  He's been a marked man ever since October 7th, when Hamas militants killed 1,200 people and took about 250 hostages. The Israel-Hamas war that followed has become the deadliest and longest in the Arab-Israeli conflict. More than 39,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to health officials in Gaza, but much less according to Israel.  Hamas terrorists are known to always inflate their death numbers in order to harm Israel's reputation.  Hamas terrorists hide behind their own civilians, and keep their ammunition in schools, their children's beds, mosques, hospitals.  

"The 62-year-old Haniyeh was killed in an airstrike Wednesday during a visit to one of Hamas’ most crucial allies, Iran, after attending the inauguration of its new president. Iran and Hamas both accused Israel, which has not commented on the strike as yet.

  Supposedly, the Palestinians themselves voted Hamas  into being the ruling people of  Gaza. . At 3am this morning,  he was assassinated.      

According to the laws of revenge, one can be involved in warring when one is attacked for no good reason by another, and people can then take upon themselves revenge for the first surprise attack.  It supposedly went on all the time by the 14th century.

Well, Israel got her revenge today for the  killing of 13 Druze children in the Golan Heights by Hezbollah while they were playing soccer.  They got Fuad Shukr, top Hezbollah terrorist. 

  Fuad Shukr 1961/1962 – 30 July 2024),  was a senior terrorist of Lebanese militant organization Hezbollah. A member of Hezbollah's founding generation, Shukr was a senior military terrorist in the organization since the early 1980s. For over four decades, he was one of the group's leading military figures and was a military advisor to its leader Hassan Nasrallah. 
 Lebanese group Hezbollah has confirmed that its senior commander Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli attack in southern Beirut.

The Israeli military said it carried out a “precision strike” in Beirut on

Tuesday that killed Shukr, adding that he had been responsible for the 

missile strike that killed 12 children playing football in Majdal Shams in the occupied Golan Heights on Saturday. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to bring the full force of the

 Israeli military against the Gaza Strip’s Hamas terror group Saturday night, 

warning Israelis of 

tough days ahead as  the nation retaliates for a shocking surprise attack that has left 

hundreds dead and  turned sleepy border towns into a war zone.
