The Israeli army said both militants had cooperated in attacks that killed 20 Israelis, including a double suicide bombing at the Israeli port of Ashdod last year that killed 10 people. Hamas has not carried out suicide bombings since the truce was declared in February, and Israel has avoided targeting militants from the group during that period. In a statement on Tuesday’s strike, the army sug- gested that al-Qarea was an unintended target. However, the armed wing of Hamas vowed to retaliate, echoing a similar threat by Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades. “This is an open war,” said Mushir al-Masri, a Hamas spokesman. “They are going to pay a heavy price for their crimes.” Members of choir defect in Canada CUBA continued from page 17 of the case, and Cuban- American National Foundation director Alfredo Mesa said he hasn’t heard from the defectors.
