The Israel Defense Forces Monday night successfully eliminated the senior northern Gaza leader of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), Ibrahim Alba, Monday, minutes after three Kassam rockets were launched from the Strip towards Israeli targets.
Alba was just stepping out of his car when a missile fired by the Israeli Air Force struck home.
Three bystanders were reportedly injured, claim "Palestinian" sources.
According to IDF sources, the arch terrorist has been responsible for rocket attacks as well as terrorist infiltrations that ended in the wounding of Israeli soldiers.
Israeli intelligence reportedly knew Alba to be planning another attack in a few days, possibly during the Passover Holiday that starts Saturday evening.
Israel National News reports that the IDF fired on a Gaza terrorist cell Tuesday morning after spotting it preparing to fire a Kassam rocket towards an Israeli community.
