Israel Targets Armed Gunmen in Gaza
The IDF targeted five Hamas gunmen who were moving through the Gaza neighborhood of Sajaiya. Troops identified killing all five gunmen in an airstrike. One was Sameh Parawana, 28, who was involved in Kassam rocket attacks on Israel. Since the government ordered the army to intensify its response to the rocket attacks, the IDF has attacked more than 20 targets, including a number of cells as they were launching rockets or immediately after.

IAF kills four Islamic Jihad members (JPost)
The IAF attacked a car in the northern Gaza Strip, killing four terror operatives, Palestinian security and medical officials said on Monday. Islamic Jihad said four of its members were killed in the raid. The army confirmed the attack in the Jabalya refugee camp.

Earlier, the IAF attacked a metal factory in Gaza, killing one man who IDF sources said was a weapons manufacturer affiliated with Hamas.

On Sunday, the security cabinet granted the IDF a green light to strike at terror chiefs, including politicians, involved in the nonstop Kassam rocket fire on Sderot. Two hours after the cabinet dispersed, IAF aircraft fired a missile at a terrorist cell walking down a street in the Gaza City neighborhood of Sajiya, killing eight and wounding 13.

Palestinians said the missile struck the home of Hamas lawmaker Khalil al-Haya. But the IDF said the strike was on the terror cell and it was possible that al-Haya's home was hit by shrapnel. Palestinians said at least six of the dead were al-Haya's relatives.
