The Kawasme cell in Hebron has a reputation, even among fellow militants, as a rogue operation that plans and carries out its own attacks, largely to avenge its dead rather than to pursue a larger political goal.

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli leaders warned Syria on Wednesday that it bears the
blame for a double suicide bombing by Hamas militants because it harbors the
group's leadership, and they hinted at possible retaliation.

A Hamas cell in the West Bank city of Hebron claimed responsibility for
Tuesday's bombings, identifying the bombers as Ahmed Kawasmeh, 26, and Nassim
Jabari, 22. They had known each other for years and were members of a secretive
Hamas cell led by Kawasmeh's cousin, Imad, a top fugitive.
The Kawasmeh clan is one of the largest in Hebron, and has dispatched five
suicide bombers in recent years. Israeli troops destroyed Ahmed Kawasmeh's
family apartment, arrested three of his brothers and sealed off Hebron.
