Hamas vows revenge after Israel kills 2 gunmen By Nidal al-Mughrabi (Rueters)
GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinian militants planting bombs along the Israeli border on Friday, drawing vows of revenge from the militant Islamist group Hamas as it prepared to form a Palestinian government.

"Martyrs rest in peace and we will continue the struggle," thousands of Hamas supporters chanted as they fired into the air at funerals for the two militants killed in Gaza overnight.
One of the dead militants was the son of Hamas co-founder and senior leader Abdel Fattah Dukhan, a newly-elected member of the Palestinian parliament.

In another incident, a top Hamas bombmaker was killed when a device blew up as he was training militants to prepare explosives.

"Hamas is continuing to train the mujahadeen in order to pursue their task of jihad," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri. Hamas has rebuffed international calls for it to disarm.

Interim Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's security guru Avi Dichter said Hamas's nominee for prime minister Ismail Haniyeh could be targeted for assassination if Hamas carries out bombings.
