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”.
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...
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.
Senior Hamas official Fathi Hammad announced at a rally on July 12 that the terrorist group will “cleanse Palestine of the filth of the Jews” by 2022.
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:
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,
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.
The purpose of the fakery is to push false narratives...
Last week on May 15th was Nakba Day, when Palestinians and their supporters mourn what they call the ‘catastrophe’ of the modern Jewish state’s establishment, mark the displacement of some 750,000 Arabs in 1948, and call for the ‘right’ of return of the Palestinian refugees to their lost homes in...
The weekly attempts to breach the Israeli border fence by thousands of Gazans is portrayed in the media as a peaceful civilian protest. But it has been anything but peaceful, as we have documented numerous times.
Rather, these are military-style assaults using the cover of civilian protests. They are controlled by Hamas,...
On Monday, Kemberlee blogged about the “protests” by Palestinians on Israel’s border as the U.S. opened its embassy in Jerusalem. We all know these weren’t protests. Hamas organized this assault since March and called it the “Great Return March.” Other groups participated with Hamas.
The terror groups have mourned their dead and...
The American media can’t seem to pass up an opportunity to vilify Israel.
Mass “protests” have left some 2,400 Gazans wounded and approximately 50 dead, though those numbers come from Gaza’s Health Ministry, not other, better verifiable sources.
Today (May 14) the U.S. embassy will officially move from Tel Aviv to Israel’s capital city.
The move, widely regarded as historic and “momentous” for Israel and the Jewish people, will coincide with the anniversary of Israel’s declaration of independence 70 years ago on the Gregorian calendar. It also comes one day...
