Mossad instructed to target Hamas 'wherever they are'

(JNS) Israel’s Mossad national intelligence agency has orders to assassinate the top leadership of Hamas anywhere in the world, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed on Wednesday.

At a joint press conference in Tel Aviv with War Cabinet members Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and minister-without-portfolio Benny Gantz, the premier said that he had instructed the Mossad to target the heads of Hamas “wherever they are.”

Gallant said that the terror organisation’s leaders “are living on borrowed time. The struggle is worldwide: From gunmen in the field to those who are enjoying luxury jets while their emissaries are acting against women and children—they are destined to die.”

For his part, Gantz stated last week that Israel would kill Hamas leaders responsible for the October 7 massacre “in Gaza and around the world.”
