The former commander of the Israeli army in Gaza: "Hamas does not get involved in the escalation"

Ata acted independently against Israel, had it become a problem for Hamas too?
"Hamas and Islamic Jihad are two very different movements. The first is committed only in the Palestinian context, and has recently reiterated it in a new political document, the second is a" proxy "of Iran and its religious-style agenda provides for the liberation from Israel as a step for the creation of a united Islamic caliphate. The relations between the two factions are not serene and the elimination of Ata could be useful also to Hamas ".

Ata was described as commander of the northern strip, an area that was under his responsibility at the time of the army
"Many years have passed and in any case I don't think I would have considered a colleague (laughs ed.). I would add that I would trust the communique of the Shin Bet, the Israeli secret services, according to which its influence extended far beyond the region north of the strip "I am sure they knew perfectly his activities, the armaments he had available and his intentions, and yesterday a window of possibility had opened."

How important is the return to targeted killings for the first time since 2014?
"There is nothing new under the sun: just another episode in a long conflict. The confrontation between Islamic Jihad and the current Israeli government contrasts two enemies opposed to any compromise, who claim the totality of historical Palestine. such situation can only be resolved by force, trying to kill the respective enemies. It is what is happening. "
