The widow of senior Islamic Jihad terrorist Khader Adnan, who died Tuesday morning, said the family does not seek revenge.

Adnan died following a three-month hunger strike. Following his death, three rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israeli territory.

"We do not seek revenge, and we do not wish that missiles be fired and that afterwards they will attack Gaza," she said.

"Sheikh Adnan achieved everything he wanted," his widow added.

Earlier on Tuesday, Hamas promised that the Israeli government would pay for Adnan's "elimination," with a spokesman claiming that Israel "executed" Adnan "in cold blood."
