Last month, the Israelis killed then-Hamas leader Yassin. Today, they killed his supposedly more radical successor, Rantisi. The position of "Hamas Leader" is almost certainly becoming less coveted as time goes on. In fact, Hamas today announced that they had picked a new successor, but would keep his identity secret. Well, if the Israelis take out the entire governing council, or steering committe, or sewing circle, they can be assured of having gotten the new leader.
