Palestinian Non-Civil War Watch – Hamas More Successful In Killing Hamas Members Than Israel

In retaliation to yesterday’s war crime by Hamas soldiers, Israel struck a Hamas command and control facility in Gaza:

Israeli army helicopters fired missiles Wednesday afternoon at a Hamas building in the southern Gaza Strip, killing four members of the Islamic group and wounding 20 others. The army said the building situated in Rafah along the border with Egypt was used by Hamas to plan terror attacks.

Here’s a dramatic illustration of why Israel doesn’t want to get involved in the maelstrom that the Palestinians are whipping up for themselves in Gaza: the IDF air strike killed four Hamas members, right? That’s still one less Hamas member than Hamas themselves managed to kill in the last few hours of fighting:

Hamas gunmen mistakenly ambushed on Wednesday a jeep carrying their own fighters, killing five of them, in the bloodiest day of Palestinian infighting since violence erupted in the Gaza Strip four days ago.

Forget killing as many Hamas members as Fatah – Israel can’t even keep up with the number of Hamas members that Hamas is killing. Not that it will stop our chattering classes from weeping tears of frustration and anger about how horrible Israel is for attacking the oppressed and occupied Palestinians in Gaza.
