Hamas demands to know why Israel went after rocket division head

In its first reaction to this evening's events, Hamas' Ezzedine al-Qassam brigades is demanding that Israel disclose why it attacked the Gaza City home of the A-Dilu family, killing at least two people, one of whom was apparently Mohammed A-Dilu, the head of Hamas' rocket division (link in Hebrew). That targeted killing is the apparent reason behind the massive number of rockets (more than 50) fired this evening.

Hamas accused Israel of opening the 'gates of hell' by targeting A-Dilu.

Hamas named him. Apparently it was him and not Deif. 

Hamas is accusing Israel of destroying the cease fire because Prime Minister Netanyahu called his delegation home from Cairo at 4:00 pm. Hamas started shooting at 3:30 pm.
