A Hamas police vehicle was struck in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah on Wednesday evening in what Palestinian media reported as a targeted assassination by the IDF.

According to the reports, Hamas police’s special forces head, Majdi Abd al-Aal, was killed in the suspected attack.

    That they didn’t as you say “waltz in at gun point”. Just as the German people of the time had some responsibility for the rise of Hitler, so must the Palestinian people of today bear some responsibility for putting Hamas in power.

    Hence my comments about Hamas’s popular support in polling.

      Hamas does not have popular support in polling. Don’t twist what you said and what the polls say. The support is for the ATTACK Hamas made on Israel, not on Hamas. There is a huge difference.

        Agreed but that isn’t weird. When’s the last time an American president had popular support while in power? 2009? They legally won an election, which means the Palestinian people put them in charge. There was no waltzing, at gunpoint or otherwise.
