Well, I was already working on a post regarding Israel's response.

Israel retaliated by blowing up a building of (IIRC) the "Voice of 
Palestine" radiostation again. Personally I consider this a totally 
unwarranted response. A crime was committed by a Palestinian, and he was 
subsequently killed by the authorities. I do not see why Israel is not 
satisfied by getting the terrorist.

I do see something else, though.

Israel destroyed an other building of the "Voice of Palestine" radiostation 
about a month ago. Jon Gabriel earlier posted a report that said Israel 
refused to give new press cards to Palestinian journalists. All this 
combined gives a very strong impression that Israel is trying to silence 
the Palestinian media, and will use any action by Palestinians as an excuse 
to continue this practice.

If this continues, we might end up with the Israeli media being the only 
ones to report from the Occupied Territories. And that, in turn, gives me 
the destinct impression that Israel is planning on doing things there that 
it does not want the world to know about.
