A month later, the U.S. used a drone missile to kill top one of the top al Qaeda operatives in Pakistan, Ilyas Kashmiri, on June 3 (CNN, 2011). Kashmiri was considered the possible replacement for bin Laden, and is also believed to be the brains behind the bloody attacks in Mumbai, India, in 2008.

The Response by Israel

One of Israel's security problems is the fact that they share a border with a known terrorist organization, Hamas, a group that has launched rockets into Israel and has sent suicide bombers into Israel to viciously kill innocent civilians. Israel's response to the terror launched against it in March, 2002, is worth noting. It was a violent month as eleven times during March, 2002, suicide bombers worked their evil, killing 81 Israelis and injuring 579 (Perliger, 2009). But when a Hamas operative Abd al-Basset Muhammad Odeh walked into the Park Hotel ballroom in Jerusalem -- where 250 guests enjoyed Passover celebrations -- on March 27, and blew himself up, killing 29 Jews and injuring 144, that set in motion Israel's powerful response to terrorism.
Two days later the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) retaliated; Israeli F-16 warplanes bombed the house of the military commander of Hamas (Sheikh Salah Shehadeh) in Gaza City, "…burying him and at least 11 other Palestinians, including seven children, beneath the rubble of a four-storey block of flats, and wounding 120 others" (Goldenberg, 2002). This is typical of the way the Israelis respond to terrorism, and it's hard to find fault with Israel's anger albeit one can argue that perhaps Israel's response is too violent, but they have a right to protect their land and their people in the way they believe is best.
