GAZA (Reuters) - Israel killed a senior Islamic Jihad commander, a top bombmaker and at least four other militants in the Gaza Strip on Monday, prompting the group to threaten suicide bombings within the Jewish state

The significance is that Israel has changed policy. For months, thousands of Qassams have rained down on Sderot and other areas of the Negev. Israel responded by attacking those who shot the Qassams. Recently, Israel announced that they would go after high ranking officials, not just low level shooters. This shows that they can do it.

As for the threats to send in suicide bombers, the only response is, as opposed to what you have been doing until now? All they can do ratchet up their current unsuccessful efforts and hope to get lucky.
