Israel on Saturday evening assassinated a senior member of the Islamic Jihad's military wing Muhammad Dahdouh. A Palestinian woman, Hanan Aman, her 4-year-old son Mohanad and a female relative Naima Aman also died in the Israeli attack. Three people were wounded.

Islamic Jihad sources said that Dahdouh was one of the group's prominent leaders and an expert in producing rockets.

A spokesman for the al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad's military wing, stated that "the revenge for the killing of Muhammad Dahdouh will come soon and will be painful."

Muhammad Dahdhouh is the brother of Khaled Dahdouh, who died several months ago by an explosive device planted in his car by Israeli security forces.
