(CNN) -- An Israeli airstrike on a house in Gaza overnight killed three high-ranking members of Hamas' military wing, the Qassam Brigades, the militant group said Thursday. Seven civilians were also killed. The three members of the Brigades' 15-member military council were killed in a bombing in Rafah in southern Gaza, according to Hamas. The announcement of their deaths comes the day after Hamas said an Israeli strike had killed the wife and at least two children of Mohammed Deif, the head of the military wing. Deif's 7-month-old son was killed, and the body of one of his daughters was removed from the rubble later, according to Hamas. Another of Deif's daughters is missing and believed to be buried in the rubble. The strike failed to kill Deif, Hamas said.
The militant group, which controls Gaza, said the leaders killed overnight were Mohammed Abu Shamala, Raed al-Attar and Mohammed Barhoum. A crater the size of a residential block was left at the site of the airstrike. According to Palestinian officials, Israeli airstrikes have killed 27 since midnight local time (5 p.m. ET Wednesday). Hamas vowed revenge for their deaths.

Israel wrongfully kills 7 civilians while taking out 3 leaders of Hamas, so Hamas in retaliation kills 11 civilians 'Suspected' of being informers.
So the tally is...
3 legitimate targets killed and 18 civilians murdered by both sides.
Wonderful news to wake up to.

I don't condone execution at all, but I think they knew they were guilty and it was coming anyway.

They were 'Suspected' of wrong doing just like Michael Brown?
Hey, if you want to defend/justify a side in that mess that's entirely all on you.

It is always the innocents the scum use, it is ALL HAMAS's work.
No I did speak as i feel.HAMAS is a nasty creature that poisons all it touches. Otherwise they would have engaged AWAY from the populace and created UNIFORMS.But they haven't the skills or discipline to fight on the western combat level so they do THAT. I realize you are young and warriors are currently not popular (Which only amuses warriors,popularity is itself a bogus trait) and you are hurt by the violence and death.
MYSELF having BEEN that ,naturally, this would be MY response, a good kill.
