A horrifying scene surfaced from Syria — street executions carried out by jihadist terrorists shouting “Allahu akbar” after every killing. These are the same types of brutal acts the world witnessed during the darkest years of ISIS and other extremist groups that targeted minorities, dissidents, and anyone who stood in their path.

And now, just days after the ceasefire, Hamas’ terrorists crawl out of their hiding places and begin executing Gazans in the streets, using the same tactics, the same ideology, and the same unrestrained cruelty. Once again, innocent civilians become victims of radical Islamist groups who treat human life as disposable and celebrate murder as a form of worship.

The footage from Syria is a stark reminder: from Damascus to Gaza, the ideology is the same — a culture of death that seeks to dominate by fear and bloodshed. Israel’s fight is the front line against this barbarism.
