Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
Just as the Mossad managed to hunt down and kill almost everyone involved either in the planning or the execution of the massacre of eleven Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics held in 1972, so today, the IDF has been systematically killing senior commanders who either plotted, or took part in, the Hamas atrocities committed on October 7, 2023. Now the IDF has announced the killing of Ra’ad Sa’ad, believed to be one of the last of the commanders who planned the attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians that day. More on the IDF’s latest achievement in this line can be found here: “IDF kills senior Hamas terrorist Ra’ad Sa’ad in Gaza City strike,” Jerusalem Post, December 13, 2025:
The IDF on Saturday afternoon killed senior Hamas commander Ra’ad Sa’ad, one of the most senior terrorists within the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, in a targeted strike, military intelligence sources confirmed.
The strike that the Israelis launched was of extraordinary precision, hitting only the car in which Ra’ad was riding in, and killing only him and two bodyguards. Though Ra’ad Sa’ad had long been in the IDF’s sights, the IDF was prompted to kill him at this point as a response to a recent Hamas attack, using an IED, on Israeli soldiers in Gaza.
The IDF said the targeted terrorist had recently been involved in attempts to restore and produce weapons for Hamas.
Sources within the Military Intelligence Directorate said the IDF strike on Sa’ad came in response to an attack on IDF soldiers in the Gaza Strip using an improvised explosive device. Two soldiers were lightly wounded in the attack and were transported to the hospital for medical treatment, the military confirmed.
Hamas’s initial reaction on Saturday did not mention Sa’ad, but on Sunday, the terror group confirmed that Sa’ad was killed in the strike.
According to Israeli estimates, Sa’ad had been operating for months within the vast tunnel system around Gaza City, in the northern Strip. Sources said he had left the tunnels in the past hour in a vehicle toward the eastern part of the city, where he was targeted in multiple strikes.
His security guards were most likely also harmed in the strike, sources noted….
Sa’ad is considered by Israeli security sources to be Hamas’s second-most senior official within the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades and, as the prime minister called him, not just a participant in, but “one of the main architects” of the Hamas attack on October 7.
As the second in command at the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, Ra’ad was high up on the IDF’s list of prime targets. He was also judged to be an imminent danger because he had been put in charge of rearming Hamas, at the very moment when the terror group was supposed to be giving up its weapons as the initial part of Phase Two of the Trump peace plan.
Ra’ad Sa’ad is dead. As a result, Israel is a bit safer today. Who in Hamas will now step up to take his place, and in doing so, sign his own death warrant?
I wish that our own CIA and FBI were half, or even one-tenth, as smart and as effective, as Israel’s Mossad and the IDF have proven themselves to be.
Instead, these “experts” of ours have botched almost every operation again and again, for many decades; and, in contrast to Mossad and the IDF, have been thoroughly penetrated and operated by disloyal or “compromised” “Americans” who hate us and want to see us and our nation and civilization destroyed.
I wouldn’t object to some dirty “black ops” that destroyed, or at least neutralized, our enemies.
But I’m not aware of many, or any, of those that have worked in the interest of our own national security over the past 60 or so years, especially not over the last 5 or 10 years.
Has anyone?
Among Mossad’s astonishing, now well-known achievements have been these:
–Identifying, tracking-down (not just in the Middle East, but across all of Europe!), and killing the terrorists who murdered the Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, in an operation that was justly named, if I recall, “The Wrath of God”;
–Planting a powerful bomb in the closet (or was it in the pillow; I forget which) of the hotel room where a top terrorist would be staying…MONTHS BEFORE HE ARRIVED TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN THAT ROOM!
–Intercepting the shipment of a thousand(?) pagers shipped to terrorists, and successfully putting explosive charges in each of them, resulting in several hundred terrorists’ heads being blown off before they figured out why;
–The incredibly brilliant and totally successful Raid on Entebbe to rescue the hijacked passengers–not just the Jews, but all of them–conceived and executed flawlessly in just 2 weeks after the hijacking. The only innocent casualty was the mission’s brilliant, heroically brave leader, Jonathan Netanyahu–YES, THE BROTHER OF “BIBI.”
–Mossad’s successful, surreptitious infection of the Iranian nuclear bomb program with a computer virus, bringing it to a screeching halt for at least a year…before Obama and Kerry got it “back up to speed” with their “Iranian Nuclear Deal”…and then–what an outrage, eh?!–President Trump brought it to another halt, and maybe eliminated it forever, with bunker-buster bombs.
,
By tradition and sound “tradecraft,” the CIA never reveals or talks about its successes (if it’s really had any important ones); that would, of course, alert our enemies to “sources and methods.” Obviously not a good idea.
But Obama’s Leon Panetta DID, publicly, publicly, immediately identify the Afghan, Dr. Afridi, as the man WORKING FOR US who had discovered bin Laden’s hiding place in Abbottabad and positively identified him.
Dr. Afridi was instantly arrested by the Pakis, along with his family, and sentenced to decades in a dungeon, where as far as I know, he suffers and languishes without hope to this day.
If I were ever approached by the CIA, FBI, State Department–or ANYONE working for or whom I suspected to be working for them, to “talk” with me or slyly ask my “help,” I’d toss my drink in his face, tell him “Golf, Foxtrot, Yankee!” (except that I’d use the real, full words), and walk away.
I am old enough to remember Palestinians slaughtering eleven Israeli Olympic athletes in 1972. Israel tracked down and eliminated every single p.o.s. involved. They even made a movie about it, Munich (2005).
The war may be in a temporary peace but the mop up operations will continue and there is no where on Earth these vile monsters will be safe!
I applaud every time one more is taken out!
Mazel Tov IDF! Mazel Tov Mossad! Mazel Tov Israel!
unfortunately it is wishful thinking that the world will be a safer place with one less barbarian in it . the world will only be safe when islam and its hordes no longer inhabit the planet . that will only be achieved when the lord jesus christ returns to establish jerusalem as the capital of the world . there wont be any muslim left to oppose it .
Yes, bu the Jerusalem He will establish then inhabit will NOT be here on this dirtball. Nope. He speaks o the Jerusalem Above.. in the heavens. Don’t not remember: He has spoken o the Jerusalem to come as not one being made by hands. remembr, He promoised o detry the Jerusalem here below, and came to do precisely that in 70 AD, just as He promised. He said, 30 years prior that tha City would be uterly detroyed, not one stone eminintupin anothe, and that that would happen “prior to the then present generaion passing away”. He kept His promise, too. the entire city o Jerusalem was utterly destroyed, within the time He had predicted, and was a wastelend the next 300 years at least. The last remaining residents o Jerusalem, the Zealots, (who had been the rebels attempting to prevail against the roman armies Nero had sent to destroy,) realised their jig as up, ran away to the Plain o Megido to escape the romans.. who hotly persued them and killed hem o the last man standing. (Plain in the hebrew is “har”, the name given to that region was “Meggido”, which together in the greek is “amageddon”. So here in history is the predicted Battle o Armaggedon” so many are presently lookiing to see happen.. but which already happened as predicted, and within the time laid out in the Word.
This whack-a-mole approach will take Israel 187 years to complete. They took the gloves off early in the war, then Biden and Europe pressed them to stop killing terrorists in the name of peace. And now Hamas has 30,000+ armed fighters (again) and they are attacking Israel. Of course, the world tells Israel to simply accept the terrorist attacks as they are oppressed Palestinians and the Jews are infidels.
