Another Hamas leader killed in Gaza
From Fox, EFL
[T]he third Israeli air strike against Hamas targets in 24 hours . . . came shortly after the Islamic militant group ordered its fighters to continue their attacks on Israelis. A leader of the Islamic militant group, Mahmoud Zahar, said those killed in the airstrike were Yasser Taha, a member of the Hamas military wing, Taha's wife, and the couple's two small children. A baby bottle was among the items pulled from the burning car.
It's unfortunate that the sins of the father were visited on the children.
It's also unfortunate they use their wives and children as shields... | The car was driving in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, a Hamas stronghold, when it was hit by three missiles, witnesses said. A fourth missile hit the car as bystanders rushed to the rescue, said Mussallam Amaireh, 52, a guard at a nearby mosque. At the time of the strike, the streets were crowded with mourners who had attended the nearby funeral of 11 people killed in two previous missile strikes.
