#5 More in JPost (Hat tip to LGF):

Hospital officials identified the dead as Farid Mayet, 40, and Abdullah Akel, 37. Hamas sources said both were members of the Hamas military wing.

"I was riding my bicycle toward my shop when I heard the sound of F-16s circling over my head," said an eyewitness, Balal, who declined to give his last name. "Suddenly I saw the car coming from the side of the street, and a missile came and hit the car from the front, followed by another two."

He said he saw a passenger hit by a fourth missile and killed after he jumped from the Peugeot van. The other man in the car was "completely burned," he said. He died later, hospital officials said. Two male bystanders, ages 40 and 45, were wounded by shrapnel, hospital officials said.

Akel is known to be a central figure in Hamas' military wing in the Gaza Strip. Hamas has vowed to avenge the deaths.
