Israel kills Baha Abu al-Ata, top Palestinian militant in Gaza
    12 November 2019

An Israeli air strike has killed a senior commander of the militant group Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza.

Baha Abu al-Ata died along with his wife when a missile hit their home, the group said. Four of their children and a neighbour were reportedly injured.

The Israeli military said Abu al-Ata was a "ticking bomb" who was planning "imminent terrorist attacks".

This was a very surgical strike. One can look up more news on this.  We got news of this going on, oh, about 6-8 hours ago. A fair amount appears to still be happening over there. Glad they stopped him.

Wow, I'm just seeing this, the Gaza Militants really did strike back, fired missiles,  hit a busy highway... thankfully, no one hurt:

Operation Iron Dome too, did stop at least, one missile in the video I saw.

Live coverage, sirens airing across Israel, some minir injuries, Hamas or other militants firing off a lot of missiles.

MiddleEast is a tinderbox that can ignite into catastrophic regional war without warning

A missile attack against #Israel from either #IRGC proxies in #Iraq or from #Hezbollah operating in #Lebanon or #Syria would result in a strong response against #Iran & escalate rapidly

1/2 If attacked the U.S. would stand with #Israel

#Iran & its proxies would target U.S. ships & U.S. bases in #Iraq #Syria #SaudiArabia & #Bahrain etc. etc.

U.S. would in turn respond with devastating force

Even by MiddleEast standards we face a very tense & dangerous moment

2/2
