Israel's Mossad to wreak 'Wrath of God' on Hamas once again after 50 years?

The Israeli media reported that the country's security services, Shin Bet and Mossad, created a special unit called NILI to find the Terrorists behind the October 7 attack that killed over 1,400 Israelis. The Israeli government has not yet acknowledged NILI's existence or its operations. However, after serving six years in the Israeli army, Ahron Bregman, an Israeli political scientist at King's College London, is rather certain that the elite unit exists.NILI is supposed to track down and deal with Hamas members responsible for the attack. This type of operation isn't unusual for Mossad, whose job involves dealing with threats to Israel.It's like Operation Wrath of God, a mission from the 1970s where Mossad targeted those involved in the Munich Olympic attack. Mossad's Kidon unit, responsible for assassinations, might be part of NILI.Kidon doesn’t just kill quietly; they aim to send a message, often using explosives. They're suspected of several high-profile assassinations, including Iranian nuclear scientist who was killed by gunmen on a motorcycle after picking up his child from school in Tehran in 2011. And a Palestinian activist named Wadia Haddad in 1978. According to differing accounts, either Haddad’s toothpaste or some Belgian chocolate given to him by a friend was poisoned.NILI's task might be more complex because it's during a conflict with Hamas. It could happen after the military operation's main phase, to find surviving hostages and target the attackers.The main targets are Hamas terrorists, especially the elite Nukhba force and the leaders hiding in Gaza. The list also includes the attack's masterminds. It is suspected that the head of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, and the elusive leader of the Qassam Brigades, Mohammed Deif, along with his No. 2 Marwan Issa, are holed up in the enclave.Mossad's involvement means they might aim for Hamas members outside Gaza, like those in Qatar and Turkey.The list of targets could expand as NILI progresses, but the top officials might not directly approve these actions to create distance from potential political risks.Mossad needs to be careful because past attempts resulted in crises, like a failed assassination in Jordan in 1997. It led to tension with Jordan and forced Israel to make concessions.While NILI's purpose is to hunt down those responsible for the attack, it’s a high-risk and complicated operation that might have unforeseen consequences.
