Slain Hamas leaders had ‘planned devastating attacks’ — PM

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praises the Shin Bet’s “exceptional intelligence” and the IDF’s operational activity, which led to the detection and successful assassination of Hamas leaders Raed Al-Attar and Mohammed Abu Shamaleh.

The Hamas leaders had “planned devastating attacks against the citizens of Israel,” he says.

Operation Protective Edge will continue “until its goals are reached — restoring long-term quiet for Israeli citizens, while striking a significant blow to the terror infrastructure,” Netanyahu says.
