Israeli airstrike kills Hamas militant chief
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip say an Israeli airstrike has killed the commander of its military wing.
Ahmed Jabari becomes the most senior Hamas official to be killed since an Israeli invasion of Gaza four years ago. Jabari has long topped Israel’s most-wanted list.
Witnesses say Jabari was traveling in his vehicle in Gaza City when his car exploded.
Israeli officials had said in recent days that they were considering assassinating top Hamas officials following a wave of heavy rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Israel's brutal occupation of Gaza failed; Israel's brutal invasion of Gaza failed; Israel's brutal blockade of Gaza failed; and Israel's brutal assassination and terror campaign against Gaza will fail, as will another brutal invasion. The blood of martyrs is the lifeblood of the resistance, which is stronger now than ever. As the Nazism of our times, Zionism has no future for as someone from the Holy Land once prophetically said: those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.
