Khaled Abu Selniya was killed by a pin-point accuracte Israeli missile on Sunday. (Reports at time of writing say that no one else was killed in the strike.) Selniya was a senior field commander of Hamas's Izz el-Deen al-Qassam brigades who was targeted for playing a leading role in the manufacture and development of Qassam rockets.
Hamas vowed to avenge the death of Selniya, whom it described as a senior field commander of the group's armed wing, which has been behind scores of suicide bombings and other attacks against Israel over the past decade. "It was a clear assassination of one of our mujahideen (Muslim fighter) ... Hamas will be able and capable of teaching the enemy a painful lesson," said Mushir al-Masri, a Hamas spokesman.
