In a thinly veiled threat, Hamas hung posters on Wednesday featuring the photos of two recent victims of deadly terrorist attacks – Rabbi Itamar Ben-Gal and Rabbi Raziel Shevach – alongside photos of living Israeli right-wing politicians and religious leaders.
Both Ben-Gal and Shevach were murdered by Palestinian terrorists in Samaria within the span of a month.
The posters were seen in the Gaza Strip at a memorial service for Ahmed Jarrar, the Palestinian terrorist behind Shevach's murder. Jarrar was killed early Tuesday when Israeli troops raided his home. The service, billed as a martyr's memorial, was held by the Hamas military wing Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades.
Despite the threatening message, the posters did not include a direct call to assassinate the individuals featured in it. The posters included images of Likud MK Yehuda Glick and former Likud MK Moshe Feiglin.
The poster appeared to serve as a general declaration of symbolic intent to murder more Israelis.
In the past, Israeli security forces thwarted a Hamas plot to assassinate the late Sephardi Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.
