The last targeted assassination carried out by the IDF goes back to May 20, when Islamic Jihad top military commander, Mohammad Dahdouh, was killed in an air strike outside the Gaza home of Palestinian Foreign Minister Mohammad al-Zahar.
A woman, her 4-year-old son and a family relative, were killed in the attack.
A month ago, five members of the Popular Resistance Committees were killed in an air strike at a Hamas training camp in Gaza.
