The zionist regime has been murdering very, very, very effectively the leadership of Hamas plus Hezbollah for a few months now so it's not one of those things likely to be a lie. It's among the most pointless kind of lies to tell too as if it is untrue the enemy can just record a video showing them opening up a news website this afternoon and make them look silly and untrustworthy and incompetent. They certainly lie about casualties of the resistance's fighters because that's hard to disprove and same with their own casualties but sadly these kinds of claims are very unlikely to be false.

Fact is this is a real problem the resistance has. Leadership changes create chaos and opportunity. There's every reason to believe the zionists have some compromised assets they're trying to maneuver into place of leadership in these groups. Not necessarily outright spies but let's say compradors or incompetents who would either rather elect to lay down in the face of the zionists and give up their arms for a bad compromised peace that won't last OR make strategic blunders because of a bad way of thinking that leads to the same kind of loss or fragmentation of the resistance and power struggles which leads to weakness and more opportunities for strikes and elimination of planning and organizational/supply capabilities which if degraded enough take them out of the fight.

So while one decapitation may not work to destabilize a disciplined and ideologically committed group, with enough of them things can start to come undone and every time it happens it's a threat and crisis for the organization as reshuffling has to happen and in that reshuffling people make opsec mistakes, people chatter and talk, further mapping of the people and command structure of the organization becomes a threat as meetings occur, power struggles may happen, factional splits are widened, previously settled disagreements come out, and so on.

Just goes to show though that the US led by the genocidal Biden-Harris regime has no intention of actually forcing the zionist entity into negotiations with Hamas that lead to peace because you don't let your underling constantly murder the leadership who they'd in theory be negotiating with if you want peace.

So angry. This anger I will carry inside me towards liberals, towards Democrats, towards soc-dems and reformists and so on for the rest of my life. redacted

May we live to see the zionist settler state fall.

Effectively seems like overstating it a lot. They've been genociding an entire people and bombing an entire infrastructure to go with it, including hospitals, schools, etc. What they are "effective" at is using blank check firepower and funding from the US empire to bomb and torment and murder indiscriminately. If they were "very effective" at targeting leadership, they would have done this long ago.

None of this is to disagree on the point about whether it's true, especially since it has been confirmed as true prior to my writing this comment that he has been martyred. Rather, I disagree on this exaggerative language that poses the zionists as somehow more clever than they are. If you want to say they are very very very genocidal, yes. Effective at targeting leadership specifically? I don't see how, at all. I'm not sure that's even their goal in the first place, much of the time. They love to claim secret military targets when they target civilians over and over, and naturally, in broken clock fashion, doing this often and thoroughly enough is going to hit military some of the time too because military can't operate in total isolation from everyone else and every other part of infrastructure.
