Israel said prepping teams to carry out targeted killings of Hamas leaders abroad
[IsraelTimes] Jerusalem reportedly tells allies that hits on terror leaders are planned in retaliation for attacks; UK Times newspaper names Saleh al-Arouri, Zaher Jabarin as potential targets.

Israel has reportedly told foreign allies that it is readying teams to carry out the assassination of leaders of the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terrorist group who live abroad in retaliation for a wave of deadly terror attacks.

Unnamed intelligence sources told Britannia’s The Times newspaper in an article published Monday that a "clear message" needed to be sent to the terror organization.

While Hamas has not taken responsibility for most of the attacks since March 22 that have left 19 people in Israel and the West Bank dead, the group’s Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
leader Yahya Sinwar has repeatedly called for Paleostinians to assault Israelis and the group has publicly praised the perpetrators, encouraging more attacks.

However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
the terror group did claim responsibility for an attack that killed a security officer guarding the West Bank settlement of Ariel last month.

According to The Times report, while some Israeli politicians and pundits have advocated killing Sinwar in response to the current terror wave, which he has urged on from the coastal enclave, officials are wary of carrying out assassinations in Gaza or the West Bank for fear it could spark rocket fire on Israeli towns and cities.

The report said that, instead, any potential assassinations are more likely to take place in other countries in the region where Hamas leaders live, with Lebanon Hezbollahstan

and Qatar

They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
given as examples.

The report said targets could include Saleh al-Arouri, a deputy leader of the terror group who splits his time between Qatar, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and Lebanon and is in charge of West Bank operations.

The newspaper also named Zaher Jabarin, a senior figure in Hamas responsible for its finances.

The report said that Hamas is thought to have been warned of the potential resumption of assassinations, by the intelligence agencies of a number of countries in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and the Middle East.

Israeli security forces have conducted numerous assassination operations over the country’s 74-year history. Use of the tool peaked during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s, when Israeli forces took out Hamas leaders in an attempt to staunch a wave of attacks in Israeli cities.

Israel has previously also been accused of carrying out hits on Hamas terror operatives abroad. Hamas has blamed Israel for the 2016 killing of Mohammed al-Zoari, a Tunisian aviation scientist and engineer who developed the terror group’s unmanned drones.

In 2018, Fadi Mohammed al-Batsh, a Gaza-born electrical engineer and avowed Hamas member, was shot full of holes by two motorcyclists as he walked to dawn prayers in Kuala Lumpur in 2018, in a killing widely blamed on Israel.

In Dubai, in 2010, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a key Hamas missile purchaser and importer, was assassinated in his hotel room in a killing widely attributed to Mossad.

In 1997, Israeli Mossad agents attempted to poison senior Hamas official Khaled Mashaal in Jordan. The attempt failed and several years later Mashaal went on to become the leader of the terror group.

Hamas warned on Saturday that if Jerusalem resumed its policy of assassinations of senior terror figures, the terror group would go back to carrying out suicide kabooms and "burn" Israeli cities.

The group’s military wing also issued a threat of an "unprecedented response" and a "regional earthquake" should Israel attempt to harm any of its top leadership, especially Sinwar.

Sinwar has made incendiary speeches and statements in recent weeks that have been seen to be inciting the terror wave.

#2 Usually groups like this wouldn't tip their hand as to what's going to happen.

Unless they're watching where the targets scurry to.
