Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni has applauded the controversial killing of a Hamas commander in a Dubai hotel by suspected Israeli agents, BBC reported.
"The fact that a terrorist was killed, and it doesn't matter if it was in Dubai or Gaza, is good news to those fighting terrorism," she said.
It is thought to be the first time a top Israeli has made such a comment.
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was found dead in his room on 20 January, having been electrocuted and suffocated.
