Brand new video in from Hamas where the military leader of that group has been taken out.

Hamas as an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip has killed the commander of its military wing in Israel is now saying this.

Is just the beginning -- -- live in Jerusalem -- And we report -- Know right now there are some comparing this to the Israeli version of killing.

I some have been -- not that job Berry had been running hamas' militant wing for ten years was in charge of Hamas.

During the second Intifada here that of course killed so many Israelis he was killed in -- targeted killing.

In the Gaza Strip a missile from the Israeli Air Force took out a car he was riding in the past hour there have been at least two more targeting killings.

Of militants there in the Gaza Strip the Israeli military now calling it operation.

Cloud.

Fired out of Gaza.

Into southern Israel in those rockets really.

What does Islamic Jihad do -- they -- watching other barrage of rockets.

Suffice it to say the Israeli military operation will continue to grow.

The other big question is we know that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are holding their punches a little bit they have rockets which could reach Israeli towns like for Shawmut CL and like the airport anything -- an international and also like Tel Aviv there is a thought.

That this killing op Ed job bury their head of the military wing.

May bring about a level retaliation by Hamas in terms of escalating -- -- launching rockets to Tel Aviv.
