The fragile, US-sponsored “roadmap” peace plan has been paralyzed and is in danger of complete collapse in an all-embracing war Israel is launching on Palestinian people and national authority, following the collapse of the Hudna (truce), which was unilaterally declared by Palestinians on June 29, due to Israel’s policy of what UN chief Kofi Annan called “extra-judicial” killing of anti-occupation activists.

Israel plans more of “extra-judicial assassination” against the leaders of the anti –Israeli 36-year old occupation if the Palestine National Authority (PNA) doesn’t not begin arresting and disarming activists within 24 hours, Israeli officials warned on Friday following a lethal helicopter missile strike on Hamas leader Ismael Abu Shanab in Gaza city.

An Israeli security source said all Hamas leaders were now considered fair targets and new strikes would be launched after a 24-hour lull to give Palestinians a chance to act, agencies reported.

"This is only the beginning," a senior Israeli security source told Reuters on Friday, a day after a helicopter missile strike that killed Abu Shanab and two bodyguards.

"We plan serious retaliation on the terrorist infrastructure," he added.
