Political analyst Muhammad Mustafa Shahin told Shehab Wire that Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz's announcement that Hamas leaders operating outside the territory remain on Israel's targeting list represents a notable shift in Israeli assassination policy. Katz's statement signals an expansion of Israel's reach beyond its immediate operational theater.
Shahin characterized the threat as revealing the broadened scope of Israeli targeting operations and their extraterritorial dimension, marking a significant escalation in how Israel publicly articulates its pursuit of Palestinian militant leadership.
