The ethnic cleansing of Christians in areas of the Middle East controlled by Islamists continues.
The Gaza strip, under the control of Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups like Islamic Jihad, has seen its Christian population dwindle under relentless discrimination. We wrote about the plight of Gaza Christians in August 2014,
A “work accident” is a commonly used term to refer to Palestinian terrorists who die by their own hand when explosives or explosive devices they are handling detonate prematurely, or when a tunnel they are constructing collapses.
We have covered many such incidents:
When news first broke that Nur Barake, a senior Hamas operative responsible for attack tunnel construction, was killed in an Israeli commando operation in Gaza, it was assumed that the operative was the target.
In the ensuing firefight, six more Hamas operatives were killed, as well as an Israeli special forces soldier....
Seven Hamas military members were killed on November 11, 2018, when they got in a firefight with Israeli commandos on an intelligence gathering operation deep in the Gaza strip. Among the Hamas dead was tunnel commander Nur Barake.
One Israeli commando was killed.
This is breaking news, and will be updated as more becomes known.
Israeli commandos apparently infiltrated the Gaza strip and assassinated Nur Barakah, a Hamas al-Qassam brigade senior commander in charge of attack tunnels.
The attack was confirmed by al-Qassam in a tweet:
Hamas Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades member Daoud Rezeq Eid Jneid is the latest victim of a Palestinian “work accident”.

Consider this part of the Palestinian terrorist “work accident” series.
A “work accident” is a commonly used term to refer to Palestinian terrorists who die by their own hand when explosives or explosive devices they are handling detonate prematurely. We have covered many such incidents.
While Palestinians in Gaza cry poverty, Hamas devotes enormous resources to building complex and sophisticated attack tunnels.
International assistance including Cement, steel, wood and other materials that could be used to build and repair homes, are diverted to military purposes. Each such tunnel uses approximately $3 million in resources.
We have covered several instances where Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist commanders and bomb experts have blown themselves up or otherwise killed themselves in what euphemistically are called “work accidents.”
Sometimes it clearly was an accident, sometimes there is suspicion that Israel was behind it:
On July 31, 2014, Legal Insurrection cartoonist A.F. Branco posted what was, by far, the most viral cartoon he’s done for us, Crash of Civilization.
It took place as the 2014 Gaza conflict was in full swing. Here were some of our posts in the days before the cartoon, including:
We know that Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups regularly use civilians, particularly children, as human shields.
Rockets are fired from positions in residential areas, and next to hospitals and apartment buildings.
Monday, COGAT Israel, the body responsible for the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories posted pictures of a falcon saddled with flammable material found near the Gaza strip.
We have covered numerous examples of Palestinian terrorists blowing themselves up during what are called “work accidents.”
In some of the cases it’s clear that it was a self-inflicted martyrdom, in others it’s suspicious that perhaps the Israelis had a hand:
The last time we checked the status of Iran, President Donald Trump pulled us out of the hideous “Iran Deal” (much to the consternation of the European Union) and Israel’s Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu made a video appeal directly to the Iranian people.

Pallywood is the industry of anti-Israel activists who spread fake images, stories and so on meant to portray Israelis in the worst possible light. Often the fakery is by western activists — you don’t have to be Palestinian to engage in Pallywood.
In all the dozens of Pallywood instances we have documented, I...
We have covered the destruction of numerous Hamas and other terror group attack tunnels leading from the Gaza strip into Israel.
Our April 15, 2018, post summarized the history of terror tunnel building, which consumes enormous resources that otherwise could go to improving the lives of Gazans,
