THE day before a powerful blast sent his headless body flying out of his Gaza home, senior Hamas leader Nizar Rayan predicted that the Islamist movement would defeat Israel. "God willing, Hamas will win," Rayan said in a vitriol-laden speech that the movement's television broadcast just after he, his four wives and two of his daughters were killed in the Israeli blitz of the Gaza Strip on Thursday.
Rayan, who was 51, is the most senior Hamas leader killed since Israel unleashed its massive bombardment on Saturday in response to persistent rocket fire from the enclave.
Israeli F-16 jets fired two missiles at Rayan's five-storey house in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza. The powerful explosion hurled his decapitated body out into the street, according to witnesses.
"It was like an earthquake," a neighbour said of the massive blast.

Well, in his defence, he DID say, “God willing”.
Glad he left it up to God - silly terrorist.

On the morning of June 25, 1876, General George Armstrong Custer predicted victory along the Little Bighorn river...
What a beautiful piece of prose.
Victory? Sounds like this moon god worshipper got ahead of himself. If one intends to succeed in battle, it’s important not to lose your head. Ah, one can go on and on with all this, but let’s just appreciate the idea of a headless terrorist as we celebrate.
'In šāʾ Allāh' (إن شاء الله)
famous last words...
Don’t you hate when that happens?
‘Hamas will win...’
Win what? What would they do if they did win? They destroy everything they have any control over.
They know nothing except destruction.
I wonder what the batting average of Islamic Psychic Hotlines are?
Probably not too good.
Well, he won't go down in history as a great prophet.
“THE day before a powerful blast sent his headless body flying out of his Gaza home...”
How fitting for a Muslim terrorist.
There was a victory, it just wasn't his. Hubris sucks!
On a serious note, I hope that God has mercy on this man's family, especially his two daughters.
In his case that was a small g god.
May all his virgins resemble Helen Thomas.
Hmmm, a five storey house in a refugee camp? Strange, yet the regular ol’ people probably live in tents or shacks.
