What is the goal of these strikes? To break the resolve of Hamas? Not going to happen, Israel already killed his children and grandchildren and that didn’t break his resovle so clearly this will not change anything for Haniyeh.
What then is the goal? To frighten other Hamas leaders? They have all lost family members and it hasn’t weakened their resolve. This is clear. So what then is the goal of these assassination strikes? Frankly, I don’t think even Israel knows what they expect to achieve from these assassination strikes. They’re doing them just to be doing them.
One blowback outcome is that the whole world is watching them doing it. As a result, Israel’s reputation in the global community is shredded.
