Hamas Vows Revenge for Israel Killings

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- The militant group Hamas promised revenge Monday after Israel killed four of its members in a missile strike and declared anyone in the group a legitimate target for "liquidation." Palestinian officials warned Sunday night's airstrike - part of Israel's response to a suicide bombing last week that killed 21 people - would undermine efforts to rein in militants, a key requirement in a fading U.S.-backed peace plan.
