A ceasefire might now be the Israelis’ best course of action

The Independent  

As the number killed in the Israel-Hamas war exceeds some 40,000 people, it’s at least worth noting that some of Israel’s most potent enemies in Hamas and Hezbollah have met their end not through some indiscriminate bombing raid or the denial of food and medical aid but via intelligence-led assassination. Two such figures to have met their end in recent days are Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander killed by an airstrike in Beirut, and Ismail Haniyeh, a former Hamas prime minister of Gaza and ​​the terror organisation’s most senior official taken out since the war started, who was hit by an “airborne guided projectile” while visiting Tehran, according to Iranian state media. Shukr, after all, was revenge for the Hezbollah bombing which killed 12 civilians in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights; Haniyeh was simply another of the many Hamas leaders Israel pledged to eliminate in its current war. In the strange way of the region, a light-to-moderate series of Iranian, Hezbollah and Hamas rocket attacks on Israel, mostly harmlessly bouncing off its formidable air defence shield, would be sufficient to satisfy pride and allow matters to stabilise, albeit still with a horrific war in Gaza dragging on.
