One dead in Israeli missile attack on car in Gaza
By THE JERUSALEM POST INTERNET STAFFOne person was killed in an Israeli missile strike on a Palestinian car in the Gaza Strip today, Army Radio reports. According to the report, three missiles were fired at a vehicle traveling between Khan Yunis and Rafah, killing one person, whose identity was not yet clear. OK, now is that an ear or a toe? crap.... The report quoted witnesses and sources at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The IDF declined comment. What's to say? We did it, and if it gave a dirt nap to a hamas or IJ a-hole, we're glad we did it. FOLLOWUP: There were conflicting reports on the identities of the dead. A senior security official was quoted by Israel Radio as saying the IDF succeeded in "hitting three wanted men." A report on Army Radio, however, said only two men were killed, and that they were members of the military wing of Hamas. Five other bystanders were wounded, the report added. The report further quoted the IDF Spokeswoman as saying the IDF fired the missiles at the two wanted men while they were riding bicycles between the Gaza towns of Khan Younis and Rafah. While riding their bikes? A report on Hizbullah-affiliated Lebanese TV station Al Manar seemed to confirm the IDF's claims, saying the two killed were members of Hamas. Palestinian hospital officials, however, said the two victims of the attack, 14-year-old Mohammed Kawara and 19-year-old Abdullah a-Najar, were not members of any terrorist organization, media reports said. Neither was the other man wounded in the attack, they added. "Nope. Nope. They wuz jut standin' around, doin' nuttin', when these helis, they rocket 'em for no reason..."
