Ahmed al-Ja'abari, head of Hamas' military wing, was killed Wednesday in Gaza by an Israeli "surgical" strike, the Israeli military announced.
A spokesman for the Hamas-run government in Gaza confirmed that al-Ja'abari was killed in an Israeli strike. Â "Israel is announcing the war in Gaza and Israel will carry the responsibility for killing Ahmed Jabri," Tahar Eanono said in a written message.
Militants in Gaza have been firing dozens of rockets into southern Israel, and Israel has struck back.

Not to mention, Jews have more of a historical presence and right to live in Israel than any other peoples. Does the Quran mention Israel even once?? NO! Their sacred and holy land is Mecca/Medina. Now go and read the Jewish books. Israel is mentioned on almost every single page! It doesn't take a genius to figure out who should rightfully live in Israel. Can you imagine if the Jews tried to claim Mecca as their own?? These so called "Palestinians" can easily be integrated into Egypt, Jordan, or any other arab country. But they aren't wanted their either...I wonder why?
Not history decides who has the right to live where.
First we take back Gaza, then we nook Iran for good measure and let the entire Muslim world know Mecca is next on the nook list if the protest or even look at us wrong.
That's how you finish the war THEY started.
They're a bunch of pschos, always have been
Israel started the war by entering British-Palestine with massive people from Europe, USA, Austrialia, Russia and declaring the state of Israel by throwing out Palestinians.
@samonrusty,
The Palestinians are not to blame for how Europeans persecuted the Jews over the centuries but those persecutions do explain why Jews finally left their life in exile and returned home.
Palestinians were very much a part of Htler's campaign against the Jews. Look up the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. He moved to Germany during the war and started an Arab SS regiment, hoping to bring the full force of Nzi fury to bear against the Jews in Palestine.
No, Palestinians are not to blame for how Europeans persecuted the Jews over the centuries, but as the article says, they ARE responsible for recently launching rockets meant to kill Israeli citizens. I fail to understand how some try to draw an equivalency between the actions of Hamas and the actions of Israel...
Not a single country in the world would put up with what Israel has been putting up with of late. It has attracted zero media attention but hundreds of missiles are fired into Southern Israel by the Gaza terrorists. Up until now, Israel has been taking it all in, but if this had been the UK for example, under attack from Wales, they would have been destroyed by now. Anybody arguing with this perspective has only to go to Sderot for a few days and try living the way they do there, 15 seconds to find a bomb shelter, 12 or 20 times a day.. Good on the IDF :-0
Israel is occupying Gaza, Hamas is only a resistance-movement, just like the resistance movements we had in Europe in WW2. Ofcourse Israel will be atacked, they are the occupiers.
Hey Zerro, Israel left Gaza years ago. They maintain a blockade only to prevent the mass influx of weapons. Try again.
this is the exactly the mindset of the Hamas.
You seem upset.
YOU GO ISRAEL !
Right on!
Ding dong the witch is dead! Which old witch? The wicked witch! Ding dong the wicked witch is dead! YAY!
The world be much better place without those terrorists.
Go Israel!!
CNN's freedom of speech policy means free for zionists only
oxymoron
why Israel was allowed to occupy other countries's lands and commit murdering? I hope Hamas will not carry out the revenge by killing the innocent Israel general citizen. They have millions of citizen. You can't kill them all. Besides, many of those also like peace. They killed your leader. Identify you real target for punishment, don't kill innocent citizen.
"Citzein" (sic) you need to work on your English!
Citizen your blind. Hama's has been killing civilians everyday for a long time. Its about time Israel struck back and I hope they keep striking until the terrorist are wiped from the face of the earth.
Will Hamas ever get it: What do you call repeating shelling of Israel and expecting different results?
All this AND you want our POTUS dead?
Bet you're fun at parties.
Obama is anti-Israel.
Israel doesnt mess around! Hama's wants to play with the big dog, now they got bit...
