[T]he third Israeli air strike against Hamas targets in 24 hours . . . came shortly after the Islamic militant group ordered its fighters to continue their attacks on Israelis. A leader of the Islamic militant group, Mahmoud Zahar, said those killed in the airstrike were Yasser Taha, a member of the Hamas military wing, Taha's wife, and the couple's two small children. A baby bottle was among the items pulled from the burning car.
It's unfortunate that the sins of the father were visited on the children.
| It's also unfortunate they use their wives and children as shields... |
The car was driving in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, a Hamas stronghold, when it was hit by three missiles, witnesses said. A fourth missile hit the car as bystanders rushed to the rescue, said Mussallam Amaireh, 52, a guard at a nearby mosque. At the time of the strike, the streets were crowded with mourners who had attended the nearby funeral of 11 people killed in two previous missile strikes. |
