I've Been Thinking:

Israel successfully found and targeted the commander of the group that has been launching rockets into the southern region.

In tandem with the horrific terror attacks of yesterday, approximately twenty GRAD rockets rained down on Israel within a 24 hour period. At least ten people were injured, some seriously, from the rocket attacks.

Israel's intelligence and operational units shifted into high gear and Samil Abdul Mati, Senior Commander of the Palestinian Resistance Committees (PRC), was found. Abdul Mati was on his motorcycle in Northern Gaza when Israel dispatched the missile that killed him.

As an important point of clarification - Israel's action was not retaliation.

Israel engaged in a surgical attack - a defensive mission to prevent future rocket attacks. Abdul Mati was responsible for numerous past sorties and was planning future attacks on Israel.

Israel's retaliation will take place later, of that I am certain.
