Israeli spy master vows to track down every Hamas terrorist responsible for Oct 7: ‘No matter where they are’
Israel will track down all Hamas terrorists responsible for the October 7th attack on Israeli border towns, in which Israel says 1,200 people were killed and more than 240 taken hostage, the country’s spy master said on Wednesday. The attack provoked the current Israel-Hamas war.
«Let every Arab mother know that if her son took part, directly or indirectly, in the October 7 massacre, his blood is forfeit,» Mossad director David Barnea said near Tel Aviv, during a eulogy for his predecessor Zvi Zamir.
He added: «Today we are again in the middle of a war. The Mossad, today as it was 50 years ago, is committed to settling the score with the murderers who rampaged through the Gaza periphery on October 7 – with the planners, and with those who dispatched them. It will take time, as it took time after the Munich massacre, but we will get them, no matter where they are.»
Israeli officials have said the masterminds of the Oct. 7 attack — Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza, and Mohammed Deif, the commander of the military wing — remain at large and Israel has affirmed it may need more months to track them down.

The comments come a day after a senior Hamas official was killed in Beirut, Lebanon and as the Israeli military has carried out strikes to take out Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip and its surrounding countries.
The leader, Saleh al-Arouri, was killed in a drone strike in the Lebanese capital on Tuesday. A military spokesperson said that Israeli forces were placed in a high state of readiness to respond to any potential retaliation.
The current war in Gaza is entering its 4th month and Israel has continually said it would remain in Gaza until it achieves its military objective to eliminate Hamas’ presence in the territory.
«Anyone who thinks we’re going to stop is detached from reality,» Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this week.

Netanyahu and other Israeli lawmakers have also emphasized the importance of Hamas releasing every Israeli hostage.
In response, Hamas has said it would release the remaining 129 hostages once the war has ended. The two sides previously agreed to a temporary cease-fire, when they exchanged Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners and allowed humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.

«However, for the family, it is the most devastating outcome possible for them. They are in a state of extreme shock and disbelief,» Gibson added.

Northern Australia is a tropical climate, supporting a boom in saltwater crocodile populations since populations have been conserved under Australian law beginning in the 1970s.
The population of large crocodiles is on the rise in Northern Australia, with some reptiles reaching up to 23 feet long. The animals grow throughout their lives, and crocodiles can live up to around 70 years of age.
