A local chief in the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed faction linked to Fatah, was shot dead by masked gunmen in the Gaza Strip Sunday, medical sources said.
Baha Abu Jarab, 32, who heads the Brigades in his home town of Beit Lahiya was shot on his way home in the northern Gaza Strip, said Fatah spokesman Tawfiq Abu Khossa, blaming Hamas for the attack. According to AFP, medical sources said he sustained several gunshot wounds to the body and died later.
At least 10 Palestinians were injured Friday in shootouts between Fatah and Hamas.
Meanwhile in Jerusalem, Israeli ministers were expected on Sunday to approve intensified operations against Gaza Strip rocket squads, but to stop short of authorizing a large-scale operation to try to stop daily attacks on southern Israel, government officials said.
The rocket fire generates great panic in areas of southern Israel that are frequent targets. Three missiles were launched early Sunday, but no one was hurt, the army said.
At Israel's Security Cabinet meeting, senior defense officials were to present a range of options to counter the rocket fire. According to the AP, the Israeli security officials were expected to propose increased strikes against rocket-launchers and operations in outlying areas of the Gaza Strip where the projectiles are fired, they said.

Easy to solve this problem... One for one.. random, non specific headings. Germany used V1s...
More viable response: every rocket produces a strike against a Fatah or Hamas building or gathering, at a time and place of Israel’s choosing.
Taking out a little Hamas and PA for each rocket fired into Israel sounds like a good, measured response to me.
Eleven wounded in Gaza gun battle
Eleven Palestinians have been wounded, three of them seriously, in clashes between Hamas and Fatah gunmen outside a mosque in Gaza City, officials say.
The clashes broke out hours after a leader of the Fatah-linked al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and his driver were killed in northern Gaza.
Baha Abu Jarab was ambushed and shot dead as he drove through Beit Lahiya.
The militant group blamed the armed wing of the rival Hamas movement, but it denied any involvement.
The killings come just days after a both Palestinian factions launched a major security operation to crack down on violence and lawlessness.

Maybe but its darned expensive to waist a guided missle on a couple specific folks.
I believe if you figured out which square mile the launch was from and flattened everyone and everything in it that in short order you’d have peace.
Either because the rest of the folks, in fear for their own life turned on the hamas members instead of supporting them or because nothing else was left standing or alive. But in either case peace.
