Israel over the weekend targeted Mohammad Deif, the head of Hamas’ military wing, in an Air Force attack. While Deif’s fate remains unknown, Israel did eliminate terrorist Rafa Salama, Hamas’ top commander in Khan Yunis. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says taking out the heads of Hamas is key towards dismantling the terrorist organization’s capabilities, while it also serves as a psychological win, as those who support Hamas should know, the group’s days are numbered.

In a military operation many are comparing to the “Raid on Entebbe,” the IDF, counter terrorism police, and the Israel Security Agency, rescued four Israeli hostages from the clutches of Hamas in Gaza. All were being held in “civilian” homes in central Gaza. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses the operation which lifted the spirits of a nation.
