He was initially reported to be killed, but even though it seems to be the luckiest day of his life, this still represents the first time, that I am aware of, the Israelis have tried to kill a member of the Hamas politburo. Yassin better be careful.
Hamas leader Abdul Aziz al-Rantissi has reportedly survived an assassination attempt by an Israeli helicopter raid in Gaza city. Palestinian medical sources earlier reported three Palestinians, including a baby duck girl, were killed when Israeli gunships fired several missiles on a building in central Gaza. Reports from the scene said a car was destroyed and it appeared Rantissi was among those killed. But doctors say Rantissi, one of the best-known public faces of the Islamic militant momvement, is in "good" condition. |
