Israel Launches Unprecedented Series of Strikes on Gaza
2008-12-27
Israeli aircraft struck Hamas terrorist security compounds across Gaza on Saturday in an unprecedented series of simultaneous strikes. Hamas and medics reported that dozens of terrorists people were killed and that others were still buried under the rubble.

Terrorism Health Ministry official Moawiya Hassanain said at least 120 terrorists people were killed. In one of the Hamas compounds, bodies of more than a dozen uniformed terrorists security officers were seen lying on the ground. One survivor raised his index finger in a show of Muslim faith, uttering a prayer.

Among the dead was the Gaza terrorist police chief, Maj. Gen. Tawfiq Jaber, witnesses said.

Israel confirmed it carried out a series of air strikes on Hamas installations, but did not provide details. Israel has warned in recent days it would strike back hard against continued rocket fire from Gaza on Israeli border towns. There was no sign of an Israel ground offensive, in parallel to the air attacks.
