...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
said Friday that the town’s mayor, Iyad al-Maghari, had been killed in an Israeli strike while visiting a water pumping station.
Maghari had been at the water management facility that serves Nuseirat when an air strike hit it at around 10:30 pm (1930 GMT) on Thursday, front man Muhammad al-Salhi told AFP at the nearby al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital, where mourners gathered ahead of the funeral.
"We were surprised by a treacherous and cowardly attack on the mayor inside the plant, which led to the martyrdom of the mayor, Dr Iyad al-Maghari, and four members of his family," Salhi said.
The Israeli army told AFP on Friday that they plan to publish shortly a statement about the incident.
AFP journalists at the water station on Friday said the facility was in tatters, with concrete strewn about in piles, electrical equipment torn apart and blood stains on the ground.
Workers were there to assess the damage to the large pipes that transport water to Nuseirat’s residents.
One of the residents, Ibrahim al-Hur, told AFP: "We heard several explosions, and we were surprised that the earth-shattering kabooms were right next to us, in the nearby water station."
"With just one missile, look what happened," he said, pointing to the demolished wall of the station behind him.
At the hospital, the mayor’s body was wrapped in a white sheet adorned with a high-visibility vest, before it was loaded onto an ambulance on a stretcher.
The Nuseirat municipality said it mourned "its mayor, who chose to fulfil his duty with dedication and devotion to serve our people in Nuseirat until his last moments."
The Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...-run government media office said in a statement that Maghari was "sincere and devoted to his work, serving his people and homeland."
