Israel threatens to assassinate Hamas leaders if border riots persist

Israel has conveyed to Hamas that it could assassinate the terror organization’s leaders if violent clashes — which Israel says Hamas is fueling — persist on the Gaza-Israel border.

“If the protests continue — the assassinations will be brought back,” Israel informs the Gaza rulers through an Egyptian intermediary, Hadashot news reports.

“If the violent protests continue, even the heads of Hamas are not immune,” the Israeli message reportedly says.
