The military said the three targeted men had been responsible for recent rocket fire towards Israel.
With 12 dead, including women and children, this has the potential to escalate.
The operation was signed off by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last Friday, but it was delayed once because of weather and again when the targets weren’t in place. The strikes took everyone by surprise – as of breakfast time on Tuesday morning, there was yet to be a response from Islamic Jihad but it’s likely that will come after the funerals later today.
