In separate comments, Ismail Abu Shanab, a Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, said the organisation was re-evaluating its commitment to the three-month truce it declared along with other militant groups on June 29. ''The crimes of the Zionist enemy committed against our people...will not pass without the enemy paying a proper price for these violations,'' Hamas's Izz el-Deen al-Qassam brigades said in a statement. ''We call on our resistance cells to respond to these crimes and to teach the enemy a deterrent lesson.'' Fayez Assader, 26, identified by Qassam as its leader in the Nablus area, and Khamis Abu Salem, 22, were killed in the raid in which an Israeli soldier was shot dead. The army said it launched the operation in Askar refugee camp in Nablus to detain senior Hamas men planning attacks on Israelis. Copyright 2003 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
