Gaza-based Palestinian militants with the Islamic Jihad (Holy War) movement received text messages of death threats on their cellular phones from the Israeli Air Force, Palestinian independent news agency Maan reported on Monday.
Some of the text messages read "You are the nest target," "We will kill you to get rid of you," according to Maan.
A member of Saraya al-Quds, Jihad movement's armed wing, said that senior commanders have been receiving these text messages since three days ago.
The Jihad member, who refused to be named, accused "the spies of the Israeli occupation" of direct responsibility for sending out the threats.
He said that the "collaborators" have succeeded to kill a senior Jihad commander in a car bomb explosion a few days ago in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier on Saturday evening, three Jihad militants were killed and five wounded in an Israeli aircraft strike on a car that drove in the town of Khan Younis in southern Gaza Strip.
Palestinian sources said the three were members of Saraya al- Quds, which mourned their deaths and described the killing as "an assassination of its senior commanders."
The group vowed that it would retaliate their deaths and the revenge would be "very tough."
