| Gaza blast destroys Hamas official's car |
| 2010-02-03 |
| [Ma'an] The private car of Hamas leader Yousif Sarsour (known as Abu Omar) was destroyed by explosives in front of his home in Khan Younis on Tuesday morning, medics said. Palestinian medical sources said two children, hit by shrapnel and flying glass, were evacuated to the An-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, while Abu Omar remained unharmed. Medical sources described the childrens' injuries as light. Sarsour told Ma'an that he "heard a resonant explosion at around 3am that shook the area." He said he thought the blast was the result of an Israeli air strike, but then saw the car in front of his home was destroyed without damage to any other area. Sarsour described that apparent attack as "cowardly act" by forces he described as "backward, not even approaching the level of human," on account of the injury of two children, his young neighbors." "They hurt innocent people," he said. Sarsour did not lay blame on any particular Palestinian faction, saying he would allow Gaza's de facto government security forces to investigate the incident and capture the assailants. The Palestinian Center for Human Rights condemned the attack, calling it a symptom of the ongoing "state of security chaos and misuse of weapons plaguing the Occupied Palestinian Territory." |
