PNN – Referring to the long history of the Zionist regime in the assassination of prominent anti-Israel figures, “Hill” magazine emphasized: Removing the senior leaders of the resistance groups will not destroy them, but will help them to breathe new life into the resistance against Israel by attracting more popular support.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network from this American media, extraterritorial assassinations have long been among Israel’s (regime’s) favorite ways to eliminate its enemies. But today, despite the use of this method, the Israelis, far from a tangible improvement in their security, are facing far more chaotic conditions than in the past.
Hill continued its review of the ineffectiveness of the “terror” strategy, writing: If targeted assassinations could eliminate threats and benefit Israel, they would not have to fight on several different fronts today – against Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and the Palestinians in the West Bank. The interesting thing is that 10 months have passed since the beginning of the attack on the Gaza Strip and despite the widespread destruction in this area and the assassination of several Hamas commanders, the Israeli forces are still facing the organized resistance of this group.
Emphasizing that Israel is facing an existential crisis, the report added: Israeli decision-makers over the years have often confused short-term tactical gains with long-term strategic successes. A focus on quick victory over long-term success has placed targeted killings at the center of Israel’s defense (war) policies. The important point in this regard is that these assassinations not only do not significantly improve Israel’s security, but also increase the danger (against Israel).

Referring to the replacement of Yahya Sinwar after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, Hill added: Assassinated leaders are easily replaced by new leaders who are often tougher leaders. On the other hand, extraterritorial assassinations, in general, bring only temporary or short-term success, and at the same time, by inciting popular anger and uniting rival factions, they strengthen long-term threats against Israel. The collateral damage caused by a major terrorist attack (against Israel) is often greater than the benefit for which the regime has aimed and acted.
This article continued: Although the Israelis assassinated several Hamas leaders after the October 7 attack, the Israeli military (regime) now admits that destroying Hamas is not a viable military goal. Also, Israel (regime) has no real military solution against Hezbollah. Meanwhile, with the widening of the divisions in the Israeli society, this regime is faced with an internal war, which is symbolized by the lawlessness of the extremist right-wing demonstrators who attack military facilities.
In the end, Hill added: Extraterritorial terrors have had negative consequences for Israel and have increased regional tensions against this regime. This means that even after death (martyrdom) the assassinated person can take revenge on the terrorist state (Israel).
Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s political office, was martyred on Wednesday morning, August 10, when he came to Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Dr. Masoud Pezishkiyan.
Recently, the Zionist army also assassinated Fawad Shekar, one of the top commanders of the Lebanese Hezbollah, in an attack on an apartment in the Dahiya area, south of Beirut.
Following the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh and Fawad Shekar, the authorities and senior officials of the resistance axis announced that they will avenge the blood of these commander martyrs from the Zionist regime.
