As the IDF continues its airstrikes against terror bases in the Gaza Strip, fighter jets overnight Motzei Shabbos assassinated a second Nukhba commander, that of Hamas’ Khan Younis unit, who led the brutal assault against Israel.
According to an IDF statement, Billal al-Qedra was eliminated in an airstrike based on intelligence information from the Shin Bet and the IDF’s Intelligence Directorate.
“He was responsible for the murderous assault of the Nirim and Nir Oz kibbutzim,” the IDF stated.
A video of the targeted airstrike, published by the IDF, can be seen below.
Al-Qedra’s elimination follows Friday night’s assassination of Ali Qadhi, a commander of the Hamas “Nukhba” commando force who led the infiltration into Israel.
Qadhi was sentenced to life in an Israeli prison in 2005 for the abduction and murder of an Israeli civilian. He was subsequently released in 2011 in the Gilad Shalit prison swap.

Too bad the eliminated went painlessly! If only they could think of way to inflict real serious pain before his assassination!
He wasn’t assassinated, he ex killed in self defense or executed for his crimes against humanity
This is what happens if the Zionist government act against Daas Torah: Both commanders were released under the Shalit Deal only to perpetrate the most heinous massacre against innocent Jewish people since the holocaust and taking 150 hostages to extract the release of a further 150’000 terrorists from Israeli prisons.
Chazal clearly state not to overpay for the release of prisoners/hostages in order not to give them the incentive to take more – but the zionists claim to know better and here are the results!
Very few Palestinians have been killed. By law, the Palestinians have to be given warning via text or roof knockings so they can escape with the terrorists. When Israel said there would be a siege they were not serious as they have predictably turned their water back on. As the time goes by their will be more pressure or bribes and Israel will not do what they promised. Delays are not in their favor.
Sorry, maybe I’m wrong but I find it wrong and uncouth to want to witness by video anyone’s murder.
In Torah It says that we shouldn’t look when someone’s getting a punishment because perhaps if we have any trace of that same aveira (that caused him to deserve a punishment) we could also be worthy of the same punishment …….and anyways, it’s just not really a great attribute to wanna watch people getting murdered you know?
In the olden days in Europe it was a thing to stand around in the town Square to get entertainment by watching a hanging
DavidtheKanoi, since you can’t seem to figure it out on your own, now is not the time to speak bad about Israel. It’s really never appropriate but especially now.
Too all, our fellow brethren are in danger and that means we are ALL in danger.
Look for the good in all fellow Jews and pray for all of Yisrael.
DAVID
“IF” the Zionist government acts against Das torah?? LOL
When on earth did they even consider DAS TORAH when the existence of a so called “Jewish” government is precisely against the “Torah?”
What a tragicomedy.
Every קרבן is one too many. These butcherers are good to be off the face of the eart, but how many more will b coming in his stead?
The longer tha war is, the more Jews are in danger, and there’s nothing coming out of it besides more bloodshed. The problem is that the IDF and Bibi, were shamed to the max, with its lack of basic espionage and besides killing the terrorists, it became Bibis personal vendetta.
Prove me otherwise.
There will be no peace in the region as the holy Satmar Rav zatzal famously predicted.
The Medinah is worth sacrificing ONE MORE LIFE.
A Yid needs to lay low although revenge is swt. Theres a bigger scary picture.
50minusONE: Answering your question
1. We didn’t actually watch the murder; all it was, was the collapse of the building
2. After Nazi Germany, many Yidden watched executions of their tormentors as a feeling to satisfy the anger and maybe make some closure (not everyone is of such a holy madreiga like you). When you look at a massacre of this magnitude, I need to disagree with you times square theory. You see yourself that in this case, the response is 1000% stronger that with other terror attacks!
3. I would like to understand which aveira exactly do we have to mirror what they’ve done? You also seem to be very over-passionate to goyim that have achzoras and lots of blood on their hands!!!
Maybe rachmunos should be reserved for other criminals?!
50minusONE brain cell
No one can see anything gruesome
It’s not the time for rachmonus
Justice needs to be SEEN to be done
Without being savages
וַיּוֹשַׁע יְהוָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל–מִיַּד מִצְרָיִם; וַיַּרְא יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-מִצְרַיִם, מֵת עַל-שְׂפַת הַיָּם. Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
There is an inyan in seeing your enemies when they are dead, whether they are Arab or Nazi.
the szatmar rebbe condemned 40,000 of his followers to death, because of his sin’at hinam towards “zionists”, his fellow jews. this is not the day to be quoting him, or his opinions on israel.
To ShloimeBaruch and YWN
I’m not a Satmer, by any stretch of the imagination. BUT!!!!
I’m מוחה for the kovod of tha Satmer rebbe Reb Yoel Zt’l who was one of the biggest אוהב ישראל in many generations and a Godol B’Torah. He screamed against Zionism (and rightfully so, there isn’t a Godol who disagrees with him, they only disagree on side issues. But at the core, everyone agreed the were רשעים who were חוטא ומחטא את הרבים.
But that’s beside the point, how do you little person HAVE THE CHUTZPAH TO TALK AGAINST A GODOL?
YWN who gave you the right to publish this comment?
To Miriam: Jews should protect themselves and their brothers and sisters. That’s not even a question, it’s no different than going to a doctor or calling Hatzolah.
We all disagree how Tzhal conducts the war, as they have their war open to מה יאמרו הגיום… but that’s a topic for another day.
We need to Daven and do what we can for our brothers and sisters, we should all do Tshuva and be zocheh to greet Moshiach with music and dance B’korov Mamosh
