Two PIJ terrorists will make rockets no more, and this was a big hit.
Two senior Islamic Jihad members have been killed in an IDF strike in the Gaza Strip. Witnesses reported that the Air Force attacked two vehicles traveling in the Sajaiya neighborhood.
A loud explosion was heard, apparently due to the fact that the cars were carrying large amounts of ammunition.
One of those killed in the attack is Islamic Jihad’s ‘rocket engineer’ Adnan Bustan, who became an expert at making al-Quds rockets, Islamic Jihad’s version of Hamas’ Qassam rocket.
Let us compare and contrast the threats of those involved. From the palestinian side:
Islamic Jihad said in response that it has “instructed all the activists in Gaza and the West Bank to attack the enemy everywhere. There will be no limit to our response.â€
[…] The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades vowed to take ‘painful’ revenge within Israel, and Sheikh Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas chief, said that “the Palestinian resistance had a right to respond to the assassination.”
From the Israeli side:
The IAF attack is the second in less than 24 hours, showing the army’s clear intent to hot on the heels of terror cells and rocket launchers.
Southern Command Chief Yoav Galant said, “If it will not be quiet on the Israeli side, it will be seven times as loud on the Palestinian side.â€
Oh, and there’s also the BOOM part. That’s the part I find the most unanswerable. I think the terrorists do, too.

No squares for this one, because IJ is already marked off.
