Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, a Hamas leader and a potent Islamic was killed with two of his bodyguards on 22 March 2004 when AH-64 Apache attack helicopters fired three missiles at the party. As a result the pressure for retaliation was high and the political fallout within Palestinian territories could further erode President Yasser Arafat's status.
