Abu Samhadana's group vowed to avenge his death.
"Our rockets will rain into the Zionist entity and our heroes will blow themselves up among their dirty bodies," said a spokesman for the group.
Three other militants were killed and 10 were wounded in the attack, which knocked out electricity in the area. In the darkness, illuminated only by flashlights, a small pool of blood could be seen staining the ground, and people lifted pieces of flesh to bury them with Abu Samhadana.
Since Hamas was elected to power in January, it has not been directly involved in attacks against Israel, but it does back other factions' attacks, including those of the PRC. Hamas is widely suspected of directly financing the PRC and about 500 people belong to both groups.
