Israel Fires Missiles in Gaza Strip
Israeli helicopters fired two missiles at the home of a Hamas militant in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, wounding at least nine people, witnesses and rescue workers said. Ambulances rushed to the area on a road between Khan Younis and Rafah. Neighbors gathered around the house and shone lights on the rubble as they search for victims. There was no word on whether anyone was killed. Witnesses said they saw several helicopters circling before the attack, which appeared to be the latest of Israelâs targeted strikes on Hamas militants whom Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said are "marked for death." The Israeli military has carried out a series of such strikes on Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip in the past three weeks, killing 12 Hamas members and five bystanders. The groupâs 68-year-old spiritual leader, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, was lightly injured in an Israeli bombing on Saturday. The group has promised to exact revenge for the strikes.Keep up the pressure, and hope thereâs someone dead in the rubble trying to collect on 72 virgin raisins Posted by: Frank G 2003-09-07 |
