In Israel, a Divisive Struggle Over Targeted Killing

In Israel, a Divisive Struggle Over Targeted Killing

This is exceptional journalism, deserving of a Pulitzer. She describes how the leadership in Israel travails over each decision to target the killing of Hamas leaders. This is as it should be in a civilized society.

Nevertheless, targeted killings are appropriate given the terrorist strategy of killing innocent civilians using homicide bombers.

Blumenfeld has captured the emotions surrounding these difficult decisions surrounding each opportunity to kill Israel's enemies.

Israeli intelligence is obviously very good to know when the targets are ripe.

Kudos to Blumenfeld!
