Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met members of a hit squad at Mossad headquarters shortly before they went to Dubai to kill a Hamas commander, Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper has reported.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu was welcomed to Mossad by its chief Meir Dagan and briefed on plans to kill Mahmud al-Mabhuh, a top commander of the Islamist movement that rules Gaza, the paper said, quoting unnamed sources with knowledge of Mossad. The Prime Minister reportedly authorised the mission, which was not seen as complicated or risky.
“Typically, on such occasions, the Prime Minister intones: ‘The people of Israel trust you. Good luck,’” the paper added. It also quoted a source saying burns from a stun gun were found on the body of Mabhuh, a founder of Hamas’ armed wing who was killed on a visit to Dubai, and that there were traces of a nose bleed, possibly from being smothered. The high-profile killing has caused diplomatic tensions between Israel and four European countries —Britain, Ireland, France and Germany—whose fake passports were linked to the hit.
Interpol has issued arrest notices for 11 suspects while Israel has shrugged off calls for Dagan to be arrested. No government has directly accused Israel, but Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim has said it was “most likely” Mossad was behind the crime.

The decades-long fight between the Jewish state of Israel and Palestine cannot simply be solved. Israel whose army is notorious for the strategic killing of its enemies, will never accept defeat. Hamas, which is to be blamed for harming Israel, cannot be totally criticized. They too are defending the Palestine people whom i must say are being oppressed in their own land. This fight will go on and on because both Israel and Palestine are stubborn nations not willing to concede anything
