As Israel prepares for retaliatory attacks, Israeli officials state that the killing of Palestinian militant leaders will continue. The Israeli Minister of Public Security said on Tuesday that there will be no immunity for anyone in the leadership of extremist groups. He made this statement one day after Israel assassinated Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of Hamas, in a missile strike outside a mosque in Gaza City. In Israeli cities, police and soldiers have been placed on full alert, and the entry of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip into Israel continues to be prevented.
