Two Hamas operatives were killed and four people were seriously wounded, including a 1-year-old girl, when an IAF missle blew up a car in Gaza City after nightfall Monday. The army confirmed the strike. The car was hit while parking in front of the house of a well-known Hamas member in the Shejaiyeh neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, near the border with Israel, when an IAF missile wrecked the car, Hamas officials said. They identified the dead as Abdel Khader Habib, a field commander, and his bodyguard. A third person escaped from the vehicle, they said. | But at least they got a really good car swarm in. |
On Monday, nine people were wounded in an air strike that targeted a car carrying Hamas members. Elsewhere Tuesday, the IDF shot and killed a Palestinian man who pulled a gun on troops near the Bekaa valley settlement of Peza'el on Monday evening, Israel Radio reported. A further investigation revealed, however, that the man had been armed with a toy gun.
| But he was really dead. |
