  • Slain Hamas Leader Was Raising Next Generation of Terrorists

    My satisfaction at the news yesterday that Israel had taken out a top Hamas leader was tempered somewhat by the fact that his family died with him — today’s stories put the toll at four of his wives and 10 of his children. On the face of it, that sounds like a lot of “collateral […]

  • Israel Turns to Social Media in Fight against Hamas
