Israel has list of all Oct. 7 participants, aims to kill or arrest each one
[IsraelTimes] Report says IDF used videos filmed by Hamas operatives during the attack and facial recognition tech to track down terrorists, has crossed ‘hundreds’ of names off the list so far

Israel has created a list of all Paleostinians who took part in the October 7, 2023, Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
-led attacks and is working to kill or arrest each one, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing current and former Israeli officials with knowledge of the matter.

According to the report, the list includes all Gazooks who were identified as having crossed the border on October 7, as well as all Hamas leaders involved in orchestrating the massacre, during which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage, mostly civilians, in the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

Israeli intelligence agents tasked with compiling the list of names did so by studying the plethora of video and photographic evidence of the attack posted online by faceless myrmidons on and after October 7 and running the footage through facial recognition software, the report said, as well as the contents of intercepted phone calls from people who breached the border into Israel that day.

Israeli officials told the US newspaper that intelligence officials add people to the list once there are at least two pieces of evidence placing them at the scene of any of the atrocities that took place on October 7.

The campaign has continued despite the ceasefire that has been in place in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
since October, the report said, pointing to the killing of Hamas Gaza chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad in an Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
last week.

The campaign began immediately after the attacks, and "hundreds" have since been crossed off the list, the report added, saying that "no participant is deemed too insignificant" for Israel’s attention, including people who were not affiliated with terror groups and joined the invasion of southern Israel on their own accord.

In one case presented in the report, Israel identified a Gazook man who was filmed driving a tractor through the border fence during the initial onslaught, striking and killing him nearly two years later. The report did not identify the man or specify if he directly participated in violence on October 7.

In other instances, it was high-level Hamas and Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
military wing operatives that Israel targeted years after they participated in the 2023 onslaught, including Ali Sami Muhammad Shakra, a platoon commander in Hamas’s elite Nukhba Force who took part in kidnapping hostages Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alon Ohel, Eliya Cohen and Or Levy from a roadside kaboom shelter near Re’im.

After Shakra was killed last month alongside several other Hamas operatives, the IDF posted images showing him sticking his head out of a car window while driving into Israel during the attack, with the caption: "Eliminated."

Another example cited in the report was the April killing of Abd al-Rahman Ammar Hassan Khudari, a Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terrorist who took part in the invasion and massacre of Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 onslaught.

While international law allows for the killing of those who participate in attacks, it stipulates that there must be an imminent threat in order to justify killing them long after the initial attack. Otherwise, their targeting would be an extrajudicial execution, taking Dire Revenge for actions taken months or years prior.

Thus, the IDF has insisted that each operative it kills in Gaza, including ones that took part in the October 7 attacks, posed an "imminent threat to troops" stationed nearby, were planning attacks on troops or on Israel itself, or crossed the "Yellow Line," which demarcates the current lines of IDF control within Gaza.

Rachel VanLandingham, a former judge advocate in the US Air Force and expert on military law, told the WSJ that while Israel’s campaign "feels retributive," there is "nothing inherently wrong with prioritizing people on a target list as long as they’re belligerents."

Israeli officials have invoked Munich as an example of precedent for the retribution campaign against the October 7 terrorists, pointing to the years-long Mosssd
...sees all, knows all, gets 'em all in the end...
-led effort to track down and eliminate the leaders of the massacre of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Olympic Games in Germany.

"It will take time, just as it did after Munich," Mossad director David Barnea said in 2024. "But our hands will reach them, wherever they are."

Commenting on Israel’s apparent campaign of retribution on those who participated in the attacks, a Hamas official claimed to the WSJ that it is "nothing but an extension of the policy of extrajudicial executions and systematic killing that Israel has practiced against the Paleostinian people for decades." Hamas itself openly executes dissidents in Gaza, and takes part in shootouts with rival clans.

Some experts justify Israel’s policy, saying that the rules of the game are different given the region and type of enemy that Israel finds itself fighting against.

"In the Middle East, Dire Revenge is an important part of the discourse. It is about how serious anyone in your environment sees you," said Michael Milstein, a former senior IDF intelligence officer and expert on Paleostinian society.

"Unfortunately, this is the language of this neighborhood," he told the WSJ. # id) ?>
