Israel to resume targeted killings
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1074140314291

Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin called upon his organization to immediately execute terror attack in retaliation for Israel's threat to renew targeted killings, reports ynet Friday.

Israel is expected to resume targeted killings of senior Hamas terrorists, a security official said, after a Palestinian suicide attacker blew herself up at a Gaza crossing, killing four Israelis.

Top army commanders met at the Defense Ministry on Thursday to consider a response, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

After high-profile but ineffective attacks against Palestinian leaders in the summer - bombing of a house where the entire Hamas leadership was meeting and a helicopter strike aimed at the top Hamas spokesman - Israel had scaled back its attacks in concert with a significant drop in Hamas bombings.

However, there was never evidence of even an unspoken agreement between the two enemies. Israel insisted that the downturn was attributable to its own security forces, claiming that they arrested as many as 30 potential suicide bombers.

For their part, Hamas leaders, though often in hiding to avoid Israeli strikes, kept up their militant pronouncements and rebuffed efforts by Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia and Egyptian mediators to declare a halt to attacks against Israelis.

start with Rantisi and work your way down.

9. The name doesn't matter
Though I like the Peace Fence. They can call it Clifford the Big Red Fence for all I care, as long as it keeps the death cultists out.

11. It doesn't matter to me
All kinds of people have all kinds of priorities. Frankly, I think that, once it is built, people will naturally call it the Peace Fence, whether or not that is its official name. Maybe the Sharon Peace Fence.

7. Rantisi isn't the place to start
Start with Yassin. Hopefully, Rantisi will be there at the time.
