SO... WHO KILLED KAMAL RANAJA?

So, a key player in Hamas is assassinated in Damascus?

A Hamas member who had ties to al-Mabhouh who the Israelis did get in Dubai back in 2010; a bold killing at that!

Ranaja was absolutely on the Israeli target list, but would they kill him in Damascus, a city in the middle of a civil war; a civil war that already has the entire region on the edge of conflict?

Would Israel want a truly mid level player in Hamas so bad as to take the risk of activating a "kill team" inside Damascus?

My hunch is they would not.

What is really to gain by making this move at this moment in time?

So, who else would want him dead?

If you guessed Assad, you are more in tune with the dealings of the region right now than most.

We cannot forget Hamas openly turned it's back on Assad and that act was bound to cause some level of repercussion.

Now, it's a good knee-jerk reaction for Hamas to point the finger at Israel.

I would be willing to bet many inside Hamas are pointing the finger at Assad.

Having said that, is Israel clever enough to know they could hit this guy and let Assad take the blame?

Don't you just love the drama of world espionage?

What is interesting is the idea of Assad killing a Hamas member as a message to Hamas.

Messages such as this one are not well received in the Middle East and Hamas will find a way to answer the message.

I say it was Assad and I say it's just another indication of how desperate Assad has become.

Let's see what Hamas does.

Things are "hot" right now in Gaza and lower level units may react to the news before they get the word on what Hamas really believes happened.

Miscalculations is a common event in the Middle East and we may be in for yet another one.
