A press vest is not a free pass for Hamas.
The IDF says it eliminated Muhammad Samir Muhammad Washah, a Hamas terrorist involved in rocket, drone, and weapons production, who operated under the guise of an Al Jazeera journalist.
The IDF says Washah helped transfer weapons across Gaza, contributed to Hamasβs force build-up, and was actively involved in planning attacks against IDF troops. As such, he posed a concrete threat to forces in the area.
Before the strike, the military says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm, including the use of precision munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.

The missiles may have stopped. The questions havenβt.
In Israel, a ceasefire is not judged by the first 48 hours of quiet. It is judged by what the enemy can do on day 48, day 100, and day 300.
Iran was hit hard. But was the war halted before the strategic job was finished?
What remains of Iranβs missile program? What happened to its enriched uranium? And did Washington reach for an off-ramp before the pressure had fully matured?
That is the unease behind this ceasefire: not whether Israel struck effectively, but whether the pause gives Iran time to recover and rebuild.

πBy the way, Israel agrees that regional peace must include Lebanon.
But for that to happen, Lebanon must stop allowing a terrorist army to rule half its territory and attack its neighbors.
