It amazes me that Gaza residents would attend a funeral for this dog. If they had any sense they'd cough up the rest of the dogs hiding in hospitals and other civilian infrastructure.

Are these Arabs serious or just delusional? Israel has complete control of the battlefield, and they are threatening? Oh come on, give me a break. Just pouring salt on an open wound Id say. Hamas, gave Israel the opening to attack (6,000 rockets fired since the disegagement). They could have had peace and dozens of factories left by the settlers. Instead they purposely voted in a terroist gov't., knowing the consequences. The disengagment may have helped Hamas, or their rise to power inevitable. Now it's time for Israel to secure the Strip..not occupy 1.2m Arabs however. Expand the borders..secure the side along Egypt, bring down Hamas's leadership, install a friendly gov't w/o an agenda, develop more nukes (to thwart the madmen in Iran and Syria). Try Israel-Arabs for sedition and treason..kick out of govt' any Mk who sides with Israel's enemies., bring in capital punishment starting with Barghouti, (no more Kuntars). Thats how Israel will survive.

I doubt most of the people there are going to be civilians, but just as a precaution, Israel should make known that they will bomb any militant funerals so its in civilians best interest to be gone. Don't let Hamas have more propaganda to put on Al-Jazeera. Have them bury their 'leader' in a ditch somewhere, unobtrusively. I wish Hamas many more victories...as many as they have achieved so far.

The next time this hamas spokesman talks, target him and anyone with him. Hnaiyeh, there are no red lines, its over for you. Death awaits you and your people. Ishmael, death awaits you and it may be one of your hamas dressed as arab who pulls the trigger. Haniyeh, your hamas and iranians will bleed to death soon enough. There is nothing to negotiate. Forget about truce. And your demands? Forget about it. Get down on your knees before allah and beg forgiveness for your crimes, you filty bastard. Zohar, we haven't forgotten about you. Think of the 70 virgins that await you in paradise, you bullshit artists. Gazans, kill these 2 cowards with your bare hands and save yourselves.

With the death of Rayyan ,Hamas will now pack up the rockets be happy in Gaza and go home for tea and tiffin with the IDF and talk about the war.....Haaaa full credit to Isreal for such a cunning plan

For decades Arab/Moslem Global Terrorism has been on the rise with Khomeini, Hamas, Al-Qaida, Bin Laden, Taliban, etc. This cancer has continually grown across the world as the terrorist migrated to UK, France, Denmark, Detroit, etc. It is time to reverse this terrorist cancerous growth. Now is an enormous window of opportunity to pulverize Hamas into total surrender and submission (bring them back to the true meaning of Islam). Such a major success would hopefully begin the domino effect showing the world what happens when good strong defenders of freedom stand up to the terrorist who would Islamize and terrorize all of us. The destruction of HAMAS must be total and humiliating in order to show the rest of the global Arab/Moslem terrorists what awaits them if they continue their terror. Their approach is to beg for a ceasefire when they are losing but show no mercy when they have victims to behead or murder. The responsible Moslems must also denounce their terrorist brothers. Egypt has suffered from the Brotherhood with the assasination of Saddat, Sinai attacks, and countless other attacks. We are proud that they are standing strong against the terrorists. We are also greatful for all the other Arabs/Moslems who are speaking out against the terrorists as well. Allah Ma-akum W'Allah Y'salmakum. This war on terror must be prosecuted without mercy or mistakes and Hamas must be completely destroyed. And then hopefully we will see the dominoes of Arab/Moslem terror begin to fall. Ahmadinejad your day is not far away.

WE KILL ISRAELIS ISRAELIS KILL US WE PROMISE TO KILL ISRAELIS IN REVENGE FOR ISRAEL KILLING ONE OF THEIRS. We also know that Hamas don't need an excuse to kill Israelis they just decide what their excuse will be later. As for Rayyan he is dead as a result of his own stupidity. He knew he was on Israels hit list, he knew Hamastan was being blown to hell but this genius decided to hid out in his own home. Who is going to come bury the man I will bet his friends who are going to take revange on Israel for his death wont be coming to pay their respects, his corpse should be left to rot in the rubble where it belongs.

The kind of Zionist racism posted here is not just opinion, it's rabid incitement. Zionists just expect that they can commit any crimes they want, and the Palestinians should stay home and recite psalms all day. It will all come home to roost for the Zionist heretics sooner or later.

Hamas views the killing of a rabid dog as "crossing a red line." Hamas' very existence in the 21st. century crossed a red line.

Was good to hear the Israelis got this guy - I guess Hamas' cleric job should include hazard compensation. I appreciate this clown allowing himself to be martyrized, but he had warning, and still the guy keeps women and kids around him. Israel does all it can to avoid civilians but terrrorists deliberately put them in harms way.

I believe that this would be an appropriate time to locate and terminate with extreme prejudice, each and every scuzzball of the first four levels of the hamastoonian political echelons. Fron a stand off or up close and personal action, it would be as Martha Stewart would say" "A GOOD thing." A strongly worded note need not follow a face full of nines.

Brilliant. I wish I worte that 1st.

if you love them so much, why didn't you move to Aza....or Ramallah ?

Where the character keeps getting knocked down and keeps getting up again only to be knocked down again ad infinitum.Hamas,it seems never give up and can't take a hint.

They find it impossible to let go...

Dear World, When attacked ,defend yourself. Protect yourself from terror and death. Its the most natural thing to do , to stay alive! Especially if you are a normal human being! Long live Israel!!!!

If you want to call it zionist racism, so be it. The fact remains payback is a bitch and there's NOTHING anyone can do about it.

is the Friday call to kill Jews in the mosques, is it?

Inshala Rayyan. The IDF did him a favor...poor bastard had four wives. If I had four wives I'd want someone to kill me. I hope the powers that be don't cave in and actually finish the job this time.

Don't pull a knife at a gun fight ! If Palestinians understood this principle they would seek realistic goals and means to secure the future of their children. Perhaps if they watched more westerns on T.V. this logic would sink in.

Israel has had continuous presence of Jews in Israel for over 2000 years but it was the Palestinians who came from other places. Jews have never stopped praying towards Jerusalem while Arabs pray towards Mecca. Israel has always been in our prayers as well. PALs somehow claim the land of Israel while the fact is that at NO TIME IN HISTORY did they ever rule or have a govt. in Israel. Even Mushir al-Masri's name gives him away. al-Masri means "The Egyptian" in Arabic. And even Arafat was born in Egypt. As such the Arab are not entitle to live in Israel and certainly those who will not live in peace should be expelled. Gaza is a good starting place.

Up until now, we, Hamasniks, were gentle and peace-loving! But now, no more Mr. Nice Guy! Now we shall.... what? ... eh-h-h-h... Yes! We got an idea! We start sending rockets to Israel!! Harsh response, my foot! And what were they doing for years? Sent flowers? As an aside: do not call it assassination, just military operation. One always should aim at the commanders first. Tough cheese, Rayyan....

And how is this different from the threats Hamas was making before?

they are sending over rockets anyways, oh so now they are gonna fight? more threats will beget more air strikes, what part of IDF strikes dont they understand to stop their bombs? what is wrong with these people? I do not think they have human emotions or know how to put 2 + 2 together. anyone know or understand their perverse sense of reality?

u r absolutly right.

you are 100% right.

When they'll carry Hooniyeh on stretchers they'll say "it's VERY dangerous development"

I applaud your minority view. Passionate. Is it OK if I disagree with you? :-)

Maybe we forgot that we are humans im sending a message to end this saddness and fear . our hearts have died all the profets of all religenes would be so sad to see where the world came to :( muslims are not terreist, the only thing we are doing is protecting our lands our praide we don't fear death, even kids, wemon , old men are fighting for there land in isreal most of muslims are against the attacks on america in 9-11 when you attack we attack back and by the way hamas and all the muslims in gaza will fight to the end kids, wemon , old men all will fight for there country , they will fight to the last man , i wish we all live in peace muslims and jewish and cristians but saddly all the hearts have died go to this link and watch this youtube video and you will know why me and 1 billian muslims hate israeli http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyw-P60gkmQ&feature=PlayList&p=2995C5D19B5A1378&playnext=1&index=23 i wish you all see it to the end then you will know why muslims want revenge i think no one can blame us, and im sorry for my english i know it's bad :P peace to all :)

Right now we have killed over 400 Terrorists along with their families and human shields without suffering even ONE military casualty. HAMAS continues launching rockets at our Israeli and Arab citizens showing their true terrorist colours and justifying our counter-terror war on them after 7500 rockets. While I mourn the Jewish and Arab Israeli victims of the rocket attacks, their success rate is less than 1% while our exceeds 90%. We want the world to see their terrorist nature and to have the full justification to keep up the attacks until we pulverize and totally destroy HAMAS.
