Israeli air strike kills Hamas member
2006-08-27
A member of the ruling Palestinian party Hamas was killed overnight in an attack by Israeli helicopters in eastern Gaza City. A hospital official said Waleed Al-Harazin, 25, a member of the movement's armed wing, was killed by an explosion from an Israeli missile.

Earlier two Palestinian journalists were seriously wounded by a missile fired by an Israeli helicopter in eastern Gaza City. Fadel Shanaa, a Reuters TV cameraman, and a journalist from the Palestinian Media Group were wounded when the missile struck their armoured jeep. The hospital official said that a woman and a child were also injured in the attack.

Israeli attack helicopters sprayed buildings in eastern Gaza City with machine gun fire. Israeli armoured vehicles also entered the Gaza Strip to the east of Gaza City, Palestinian security services said. An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed that a military operation was underway at the Karni crossing.

#6  You're right Frank, something stinks. Even from my limited experience, any vehicle, especially an armored one, penetrated by a rocket would exhibit roof-top bulging. The canopy of that jeep is flatter than piss on a plate. If that hole in the roof is where a missile entered, all occupants of the car would be dead and all of the windows would have blown out. The IDF rarely inflicts so little harm with a missile strike.

The bottom line still remains that the vehicle's occupant was a Palestinian stringer and therefore someone who would most likely be a conduit to the terrorists anyway.
