Hamas broke the 11th cease fire at 4:00pm on August 19, 2014 instead of waiting for the midnight time August 19-20. They couldn't wait to bombard Israel with their long distance missiles that hit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Beer Sheva and other sites. Over 200 rockets rained down on Israel in a short time.
Instead of hitting civilians, Israel decided to try to take out the leaders of Hamas' military wing. They tried for the top Hamas commander, Mohammed Dief but got his wife and son instead. The overnight strike done by Shin Bet and IDF on 3 others were successful.
