1/4 Perspective. Take a look at the two photos below.

Two arch terrorists were eliminated in the last few weeks. Baha Abu Ata of Islamic Jihad and Abu Baker Al-Baghdadi on ISIS.
2/4 The picture on the left is the apartment of Abu ATA In Gaza. A surgical strike by the @IDF to limit collateral damage. One apartment in a full building.

The picture on the right is the Compound of Al Baghdadi.
3/4 This is NOT a criticism of US military. That operation was completely justified. However, it’s important to note just how careful IDF is with collateral damage. That surgical strike requires unbelievably accurate intelligence, exactly the right weapon, exactly right timing.
4/4 It also requires restraint. IDF waited a week to kill him so as not to harm civilians. Now, after 50 rockets fired on Israel, Israel has NOT retaliated. I’m not judging whether lack of retaliation is good/ bad military judgement. But it is remarkable.
