A little extra perpective

Assassination of Abu Jihad - Tunis, April 1988

Khalil al-Wazir, or Abu Jihad, a key ally of Palestine Liberation Organisation leader Yasser Arafat, planned numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, but the final straw was the 1988 hijacking of a bus en route to Israel's secret nuclear-weapons installation at Dimona in the Negev desert. A month later, 30 Israeli commandos landed on a Tunisian beach before linking up with Mossad agents already in the country. One commando team shot and killed Abu Jihad's driver outside his villa while another broke down the door and fired 70 bullets at Abu Jihad. The operation, allegedly ordered by Defence Minister Yitzhak Rabin and co-ordinated by future prime minister Ehud Barak, was condemned by the US as an act of political assassination.
