Israel kills Hamas leader... Israeli aircraft hit 15 houses belonging to Hamas militants, Palestinians said. They said the Israelis either warned nearby residents by phone or fired a warning missile to reduce civilian casualties. Twelve people were hurt in the attacks, hospital officials said.
The attack that killed Hamas strongman Nizar Rayan and most of his family was the first of several strikes on homes of Hamas figures to kill a leader from the group's top echelon since Israel's air campaign began on Saturday.
Even as it escalated its offensive, Israel maintained an opening for the intense diplomatic efforts by leaders in the Middle East and Europe trying to bring the sides to a truce. Israel said it would consider a halt to the fighting if international monitors were brought in to track compliance with any truce with Hamas.
Adding to the urgency of those searching for a cease-fire, Israel's military said its preparations for a possible ground assault are now complete and troops are ready to cross the border if its air operation to stamp out Hamas rocket fire needs to be expanded.

...Rayyan had repeatedly called for suicide-bomb attacks inside Israel, and sent his own son to carry out a suicide bombing in 2001 that killed two Israelis. He was both a military commander and the spiritual leader of Hamas brutal military wing.
Now, let’s see how ObaMessiah will “handle” it.
