Said Siyam, Interior Minister of Fundamentalist Group Hamas was killed in Gaza aerial bombings, according to the Israeli Army.
Because Siyam was a high ranking official in Hamas government, this is a huge blow to Hamas itself.
Hamas was at his brother's house at the time. Both he, his brother and brother's wife died.
Hamas military groups are announcing their planned revenge. Siyad was elected as Interior Minister in the 2006 Legislative Elections. He was known as a Hamas die hard who established a Hamas security force several thousand strong. They originally were under moderate Palestinian President Abbas.
