This is a quiz question: How did Harper's Magazine report on a recent military operation in Gaza?

(a) Israel eliminated Hamas military wing commander Saleh Shahedeh. Shehadeh was responsible for killing or injuring hundreds of Israeli civilians and inciting dozens of young Palestinians to commit murder and suicide in the name of "Allah", and was actively planning new attacks. Despite the fact that his activities were known to the Palestinian Authority, Yassir Arafat decided not to have him arrested, disregarding numerous pleas by Israel, the United States and other countries. The Israelis chose to attack the target using a laser-guided bomb in order to maximize the success of their mission, while minimizing unnecessary casualties. Although Shahedeh knew that he was wanted by the Israelis, he continue to manage his terror campaign while surrounded by his wife, children and other civilians, placing them at risk in violation of Part III, Section 1, Article 28 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

(b) Israel used an American-made F-16 to drop a one-ton laser-guided bomb on a densely populated residential area in Gaza City, killing a prominent Hamas leader and 14 others, nine of them children.
