Israel to continue Jihad killings

Weird headline or what? Honestly, what did you think when you read that BBC headline? Jews doing Jihad? Not likely. Here's what it's about.

The Israeli army says it will continue its policy of trying to kill members of a Palestinian militant group.

Army chief of staff Dan Halutz told a parliamentary committee that targeting Islamic Jihad was an ongoing policy and not a response to specific attacks.

And what's wrong with that?

Israel suspended its policy of killing suspected Palestinian militants in February under an informal ceasefire.

But it resumed last month after six Israelis were killed in a suicide bombing claimed by Islamic Jihad.

Mr Haluz said what Israel calls targeted killings was the most effective weapon to fight Palestinian militants.

That and the wall almost completely stopped suicide bombings.
