Israeli Military Kills Palestinian Commander in Targeted Assassination in Gaza
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Israeli military bombed the home of a senior member of the
Palestinian group Islamic Jihad before dawn in Gaza today, killing the
commander Bahaa Abu el-Atta and his wife Asmaa and injuring his
children. Following the targeted assassination, over 50 rockets were
fired from Gaza into Israel, injuring at least one civilian. The
European Union has condemned the rocket attacks, saying, "The firing of
rockets on civilian populations is totally unacceptable and must
immediately stop."
