Rantissi survives missile strike
He was initially reported to be killed, but even though it seems to be the luckiest day of his life, this still represents the first time, that I am aware of, the Israelis have tried to kill a member of the Hamas politburo. Yassin better be careful.
Hamas leader Abdul Aziz al-Rantissi has reportedly survived an assassination attempt by an Israeli helicopter raid in Gaza city. Palestinian medical sources earlier reported three Palestinians, including a baby duck girl, were killed when Israeli gunships fired several missiles on a building in central Gaza. Reports from the scene said a car was destroyed and it appeared Rantissi was among those killed. But doctors say Rantissi, one of the best-known public faces of the Islamic militant momvement, is in "good" condition.
