IDF Spokesman: There is no hourglass over this operation, we have been given the green light

Looks like the assassination of the Hamas military commander was not a one-off at all and we are looking at what could be another lengthy operation:

IDF spokesman, Brigadier General Yoav (Poly) Mordechai said: "We are facing a lengthy period during which we must prepare resiliently at the home front, listen to instructions, and stay close to protected areas. In the coming hours, the smoke will continue to rise above Gaza. The Chief of staff in the war room and the Air Force proceeds with aggressive and accurate attacks. We are in the midst of a campaign that will keep increasing. There is no 'Hourglass' over this operation – we've received the green light from the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense. If I were a senior Hamas official – I would be looking for a place to hide. There will be a ground operation should the need arise. Infantry brigades are being diverted to support the war effort."

Pretty brilliant.  Start off by cutting off the head and then move in against the rest of the terrorist organization.  Pray for Israel and for this operation to be quick and relatively bloodless (for the Israelis at least).
