The IDF reported on Saturday that it eliminated a senior Hamas official responsible for arms trade, production and procurement for the terror organization's military wing in an airstrike in southern Gaza's Rafah the day before.
According to the statement, Hassan al-Atrash, who was killed in an attack on a vehicle he was driving in, also participated in smuggling weapons from various countries to the Gaza Strip and, more recently, was involved in smuggling weapons into the West Bank.
The script was predictable. Within hours of their release, activists detained by Israel following the interception of the Gaza flotilla were making headlines across the world with allegations of mistreatment, sexual assault and rape.
Israel's interception of the Gaza flotilla was legally defensible. What followed was not.
Lebanon is facing threats to both its unity and territorial integrity, French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian warned Thursday, pointing to Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory in the south and Hezbollah's grip on the rest as twin threats to the country's survival as a coherent state.
