A year for assassination.
Baha'i Abu al-'Ata
Al-Ataa, commander of the northern brigade of the Islamic Jihad organization, was killed in the northern Gaza Strip in November last year.
He opposed Hamas' settlement process with Israel, mediated by Egypt, and violated the agreements by launching rockets at the back of the State of Israel, usually on Friday evenings.
In one case, he was responsible for launching the rockets at Ashdod while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was holding an election conference in the city, and was subsequently forced to stop the incident and evacuate in front of the cameras to a protected area.
The IDF was then well prepared for the organization's military response, which launched rockets but did not hit civilians. In response to the continued launches, the IDF killed 34 Palestinians, most of them terrorist operatives who tried to launch more rockets at Israel, and damaged the organization's infrastructure.
According to IDF estimates, a group within the military wing of Islamic Jihad believes that the organization's response to the assassination was insufficient, and therefore seeks to avenge al-'Ata's death on the anniversary of the assassination. To this end, the level of vigilance in the Gaza Division will increase. Rockets or a sniper attack along the border fence, as well as a host of other scenarios.
The airspace will also be increased.
His funeral is being held on the anniversary of the death of Yasser Arafat.
