Hamas Commander's Killing May Serve as a Warning

(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - Hamas senior commander Mazan Fukha was one of 1,027 Palestinian prisoners released in 2011 in exchange for kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. Immediately after his release, Fukha joined the leadership of Hamas' military wing and began initiating terror attacks. Most of Hamas' terror attack planning systems and main units in the West Bank and Gaza are headed by prisoners who were released in the Shalit deal. Fukha's assassination, even if it was not carried out or commissioned by Israel, serves as a warning to the rest of the prisoners who were released in the Shalit deal and returned to their evil ways. We should also take into account the possibility that Fukha's assassins were Gazans who had scores to settle with him and Hamas - for example, members of the Salafi groups who are being persecuted by Hamas.
