The missiles killed four people including Tayseer al-Jabari, a prominent commander of the group. The operation comes after days of tension following the arrest on Tuesday, Aug. 2, of another Islamic Jihad official, Bassam al-Saadi, and could be the beginning of further escalation. Fawzi Barhoum, Hamas spokesman: "The Israeli enemy has committed a new crime, it must pay the price."

The missiles killed four people including Tayseer al-Jabari, a prominent commander of the group. The operation comes after days of tension following the arrest on Tuesday, Aug. 2, of another Islamic Jihad official, Bassam al-Saadi, and could be the beginning of further escalation.
