The three terrorists were Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives residing in Gaza City, and part of a terrorist cell that has been firing rockets into Israel for the past few weeks, including rockets that hit the city of Sderot during the holiday of Rosh HaShana (the Jewish New Year) a week ago. The names of the three terrorists are Mahmoud Mussah Rammadan Bana, Kamel Hamdan Ibrahim Dakhdukh and Mohamed Salem Barawi Marshoud.
Terrorists fired approx. 50 rockets and mortar shells into Israeli territory during the last three months–over 3,300 since 2008.
The IDF will respond harshly to any attempt to break the calm in Israel’s southern communities.
