Avi Dichter, Israels Minister of Public Security, "was the domestic intelligence agency chief in 2002 when Israel bombed a Hamas military leader's house killing him, his bodyguard and 15 civilians." [1]
The BBC report,
- "The Shin Beth agency, headed by Mr Dichter between 2000 and 2005, helped plan the assassination of Hamas military commander Saleh Shehada in July 2002.
- Nine children were killed in the raid. A one-tonne bomb was dropped on Mr Shehada's house. The dead included his wife and his three children." [2]
He was invited to a seminar on counter terrorism as a keynote speaker by the King's College London in 2007, but cancelled due to fears of being arrested for war crimes.[3]
