Hamas militants vowed to "bring death to every house" in Israel after helicopter gunships killed the Islamic group's wheel-chair bound spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin as he left a mosque before dawn on Monday. "Sheikh Ahmed Yassin rest in peace. They will never enjoy rest. We will send death to every house, every city, every street in Israel," Hamas militants shouted through loudspeakers in the streets of Gaza City.
