Israel vowed to follow up its killing of a top Hamas ideologue by targeting other leaders of the militant Islamic group.
“No terrorist chief, with the emphasis on Hamas, will be immune,” Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told Army Radio.
Ibrahim Makadmeh, slain Saturday in a missile strike, was among the most senior Palestinian figures killed in the last 2 1/2 years of violence.
“Makadmeh was the ultimate arch-terrorist,” Mofaz told Israel Radio. “He was involved up to his neck in planning hundreds of terrorist attacks.”
