Ali Mussa Daqduq had been captured by U.S. forces following the audacious 2007 raid that left five U.S. soldiers dead, but he was later released by the Iraqis.

    This is definitely a fluff article to make Israel seem more favorable to the US.

      Even if so, it’s still good news.

      Edit: People downvoting this post? Terrorist shills. It’s such a shame the pro-Palestinian movement is polluted with you asshats. Anyone who supports Hamas or Hezbollah has their priorities confused.

        All indications are that he was still an active militant and a perfectly valid target for Israel to strike.

        However, the Iraq war is over. Having that be the frame in which we find his death to be good news is nothing more than celebrating vengeance, and that is not a good thing.

        You have to realize that on Lemmy, there is no nuance. Israel killed all those women and children, so it doesn’t matter whether or not the other side are terrorists or rapists.

    Wow! Israel can kill enemy combatants, not just civilians?? Amazing! Why haven’t they been using this capacity the whole time?

      Sure would be nice huh? Maybe if Israeli snipers stopped killing children and focused on combatants we would hate them a little less
