Last week Shakedi was praising his men for the assassination of Islamic Jihad member Muhammad Dahdouh on Sunday evening by rockets fired from a helicopter gunship.. The missile also killed 5 Dahdouh's family members, including a four-year-old child.

Israel Air Force Chief Major-General Eliezer Shakedi referred to the assassination, saying that "in the Gaza operation we managed to hit the person responsible for the launching of Qassams and developing long-range missiles which were recently fired at Israel."

We are in a very difficult war and have managed to significantly reduce incidents in which people who are uninvolved are hurt," he said.

Shoot the inoccent, rape, my old Shakedi has a lot of apologising to do. Recently he held a seminar for all high-ranking Air Force officers on morality, values and norms. During the seminar discussions were held on the rape and how to deal with similar cases at army bases.... i.e hush it up , etc., Replete with Powerpoint presentations no doubt ...This is a 123 year old - DO NOT RAPE, this is inicent family with 5 year old child DO NOT KILL. Seer US army teaching the same to GI's

Meanwhile he carries his smugness, hinting in public how his wonderful airmen can strike at the heart of Teheran. The they wonder why they are so hated...
