The latest strike was a botched helicopter attack against a car carrying Hamas members in Gaza City on Tuesday that instead killed a bystander, a waterpipe vendor. Israel's army chief has warned every militant is a "potential target for liquidation."

In response, Hamas is urging its members to take new precautions. The Islamic militant group posted leaflets on mosque doors, telling fugitives to stay indoors or, if they must move around, to ride in cars alone, never in groups. "Our brothers should use different clothes ... and change their appearance," the flyer said.
