Israel strikes vehicle in Gaza, killing 3

Israel & Palestine Forum

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Israel helicopters fired two missiles at a car driving through the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing three people including two Hamas militants.
The air strike demolished the car, which was travelling on a Mediterranean coastal road used by Palestinians near the Israeli settlement of Netzarim, witnesses said.

Israeli jets were heard flying overhead shortly after two explosions. Smoke billowed from the wreckage of the white car, and ambulances rushed to the scene.

Hamas officials said two of the dead were Hamas militants. The affiliation of the third was unknown. The Israeli army had no immediate comment.

"A missile from the sky hit the car," said Ahmed Asmat, 35, a farmer who was working in his greenhouse about 100 metres from the explosion. Intense gunfire came from the direction of the settlement, about 500 metres away, he said.

Israel's air force has routinely sent helicopter gunships and warplanes to kill Palestinian militants in pinpoint air strikes. In the last strike, a helicopter fired two missiles into a car Saturday night, killing three Islamic Jihad members.

After the attack Wednesday, dozens of angry Hamas supporters tried to storm the morgue at Shifa Hospital in Gaza to identify the victims. Others at the hospital were crying, covering their faces and calling for revenge.

At the scene, screaming crowds of people threw sand onto the burning, smoking wreckage, beating it with coats and scarves to try to put out the fire.

A man using a blanket lifted a charred, decapitated body from the wreck and heaved it onto a stretcher.

Some in the crowd lashed out at Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority. ``I spit on the Palestinian Authority and those who brought them here,'' one person at the scene screamed.

Good, they didnt kill any civilians.

Yep, now if only the Palestinian bombers can do the same thing, maybe they will garner some world support.

Oh, oneofpeace, the Palestinians dont consider the terrorists as "terrorists", for them, if they die, its like a civilian, so they will retaliate

Yep that's right they don't TWBR. This is one of the reasons however they stay in impovished conditions.

Maybe one day they'll get tired of pointing the finger at everyone else (US, Israel) and start to look at themselves. However you will always have the primative mentalities over there incapable of progression and reaching peace.
