WRAPUP 7-Israeli strike kills Hamas political leader | Antiwar Newswire: "GAZA, Jan 1 (Reuters) - Israel killed a senior Hamas leader in an air attack on his home on Thursday, striking its first deadly blow against the top ranks of the Islamist group in a Gaza offensive that has claimed more than 400 Palestinian lives.

Nizar Rayyan, a cleric widely regarded as one of Hamas's most hardline political leaders, had called for renewed suicide bombings inside Israel. Medical officials, confirming his death, said another nine people, including members of Rayyan's family, were killed in the bombing in Jabalya refugee camp."

When she will pick me up, is only a question of time.'"
