Launching what has been named "Operation Pillar of Defense," Israel killed the head of Hamas' military wing Ahmed Al-Ja'abari yesterday. The operation comes as a response to Hamas' and other terrorist organizations' continuous rocket attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip.
Al-Ja'abari was a member of Hamas' political bureau and the leader of Hamas' military wing since 2002. He actively encouraged suicide bombings and other terrorist attacks against Israel.
Al-Ja'abari was Hamas' chief negotiator during the negotiations to release Hamas-captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
When asked in an interview on Al-Jazeera in 2006 about targeting civilians, Al-Ja'abari said:
"The
Jew who comes to the soil of Palestine is a murderer, a criminal, a
thief and an occupier. That is the Jew we are fighting. Whereas the Jew
in his synagogue in Britain or in the US, we have nothing to do with
him. But if he comes to the soil of Palestine - then he is fighting us,
and we will fight him and kill him on the soil of Palestine."
Following Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005, Al-Ja'abari
encouraged members of Hamas' military wing, the "brave Jihad fighters,"
to "sacrifice [their] souls for the sake of Allah in order to liberate
"Jerusalem, the West Bank, Haifa, Jaffa, and Tel Aviv, until the
liberation of the homeland, all of Palestine." Click to view
In another statement around the same time, Al-Ja'abari expressed satisfaction that Hamas possessed "the technology that can precisely strike the city of Sderot (town in southern Israel) and other places in the '48 territories (i.e., Israel)."

Palestinian Media Watch has also documented Al-Ja'abari's praise for Palestinian women who participate in Jihad against Israel.
The following are excerpts of Al-Ja'abari's statements:

Head of Hamas' military wing Ahmed Al-Ja'abari:
"Brave
Jihad fighters, you sacrifice your souls for the sake of Allah... until
the rats (i.e., Israelis) return to their holes. Today, Gaza [was
liberated by Hamas]. Tomorrow, Allah willing, Jerusalem. Tomorrow, the
West Bank. Tomorrow, Haifa, Jaffa, and Tel Aviv (Israeli cities)...
until the liberation of the homeland, all of Palestine."

Head of Hamas' military wing Ahmed Al-Ja'abari:
"Praise
Allah, the Jihad fighters who manufacture [rockets] have obtained this
technology that can precisely strike the city of Sderot (town in
southern Israel) and other places in the '48 territories (i.e.,
Israel)."

Head of Hamas' military wing Ahmed Al-Ja'abari:
"[Female suicide bomber] Reem Riyashi's operation (i.e., terror
attack) led to a major change in the Jihad operations regarding the
participation of women. Therefore, [a Palestinian] mother no longer
stops her son when he goes on Ribat and Jihad (religious war)."
