Israel has threatened to resume targeted assassinations in the Gaza Strip and abroad in response to the recent spate of terrorist attacks in the West Bank, Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar reported Monday. The alleged threat was relayed to Hamas by Egyptian security officials who are currently visiting the Gaza Strip, the newspaper said. Hamas officials did not immediately comment on the report.

Two delegations of intelligence officers and civil engineers arrived in the Gaza Strip for talks with Hamas officials on ways of preserving the ceasefire with Israel and advancing plans to rebuild the coastal enclave in the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas war seven months ago. The intelligence delegation, which consists of four senior officers from Egypt’s General Intelligence Service, entered the Gaza Strip through the Erez border crossing with Israel.

Why threaten?

To quote Yoda of Star Wars fame: "Do or Do Not, there is no Try!"

In my misquote of Yoda-- there is no threaten.

From years of parenting, and now grandparenting

--threats never work

unless the child knows there is a fair degree of certainty, and it STILL works best if the consequence falls unexpectedly, WITHOUT WARNINGS OR THREATS!

You can explain AFTERWARDS. Which THEN has the desired effect of improved behaviour!

Like Trump in his first State Dinner with President Xi of China.

He excused himself briefly between dinner and dessert, launched missiles at a Syrian air site, then sat back down for dessert.

Xi was almost immediately informed by an aide what took place to Xi's shock and horror.

Point taken by both Xi AND Putin and every other tin pot dictator around the globe.

Deterrence at work.

Take a tip from TRUMP guys!
