Israel carries out fifth strike in Gaza
By Arnon Regular, Haaretz Service and Agencies
Last Update: 21/10/2003 02:23
The Israel Defense Forces on Monday carried out five aerial strikes in the Gaza Strip in which 14 Palestinians were killed and about 100 were wounded.
In the fifth strike, carried out Monday evening, at least one missile landed just east of Gaza City, wounding one man, according to Palestinian sources. The target of the strike was the house of Hamas militant Sheikh Abdullah Shami, who was targeted earlier during the day by an IDF strike.
Late Monday night, IDF troops were alerted to the area of Kibbutz Nahal Oz after receiving reports of an attempt to infiltrate into Israel from the Gaza Strip. The troops killed two Hamas men and then followed a pickup truck carrying four Hamas militants who assisted the two men trying to infiltrate into Israel.
In the area of the Nuseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip helicopters fired at the vehicle, killing its four occupants. Palestinians said that the car was owned by Imad Akal, a senior member of the Hamas military wing and carrying several of his entourage.
But according to witnesses, the first missile did not kill all the occupants of the car and as they escaped, more missiles struck the main street in Nuseirat, a densely populated refugee camp. Dozens of Palestinians rushed to the vehicle, including medical workers. The helicopters fired two more missiles, killing five civilians, among them a doctor, and wounding some 50 people.
The IDF said Monday that the attacks were carried out due to the large number of Qassam rockets fired recently from the Gaza Strip into Israel, and not as a response to the killing of three soldiers on Sunday near Ofra.
The IDF launched three other air strikes in Gaza City on Monday in the space of several hours, killing two members of the Hamas military wing and a passerby.
At least 23 other people were wounded in the first two strikes, Palestinian hospital sources said, including four children and a 70-year-old woman.
Hamas on Monday vowed to avenge the strikes.
Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia condemned the strikes, saying they made it harder for Israel and the Palestinians to hold talks on ending violence.
"These Israeli acts do not help cease-fire talks, they discourage them. Unfortunately this is part of the permanent Israeli aggression against the Palestinians. We want the Israeli government to sit down with us and negotiate a cease-fire," he told reporters in the West Bank city of Ramallah. "The world should wake up to this aggression," he said.
Ra'anan Gissin, an advisor to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said the strikes were part of Israel's war on terrorism.
"We will chase the terrorists everywhere," he said. "They will have no sanctuary."
In the first assault, in the Sajaiyeh neighborhood in the eastern part of the Gaza Strip, combat planes struck a Hamas weapons factory, the military said. Seven people were wounded in the strike, including two infants aged 2 and 3.
The militant group used the building to manufacture explosive devices, Qassam rockets, mortars and anti-tank missiles, the IDF said.
Palestinian sources said the structure belonged to Amar Mushtaha, an activist in the Hamas military wing. Mushtaha was lightly wounded, and was extracted from beneath the rubble of the destroyed building.
The building was 200 meters from the home of top Islamic Jihad official Abdullah Shami, who was unharmed. But the IDF said Shami was not the target of the attack.
The Shamis and the Mushtahas are related, residents said. Most of the two-story house, which had been under construction, was demolished.
"I want to thank God for the survival of Sheikh Abdullah Shami, and I assure you that he is okay," Islamic Jihad spokesman Khaled Batch said at the scene. In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Palestinians said that Shami had been the target.
Witnesses said there were F-16 fighter jets and combat helicopters flying overhead at the time of the attack.
"Suddenly we heard a big boom and it was like an earthquake, everything started to fall on us, glass, pieces of debris," said Rawda al-Jamal, whose children were hurt in the attack.
In the second strike, a helicopter gunship fired missiles at a pickup truck, killing three Palestinians - two members of the Hamas military wing and a passerby - and wounding at least five others.
Sources in the Israel Defense Forces said that Palestinians had been spotted loading the truck with weaponry from the building hit in the initial attack.
The pickup had stopped at a traffic light near a gas station, on a busy street crowded with school children, when the missiles hit the front of the vehicle. A kindergarten and an elementary school had just let out students for the day.
Bus driver Ahmed Sobeh said he was driving behind the pickup at the time. "Suddenly, a big flame came from the sky and hit the car in front of me," he said.
"School children were trying to cross the road [at the time]... I saw a person in the car being evacuated and his body was completely burned. I also saw a teenager on the side of the street covered with blood but he was alive."
In the third attack, a missile destroyed a one-room house on the outskirts of Gaza City. A second missile demolished a car parked nearby, Palestinian officials said. The car's passengers apparently fled before the missile hit, witnesses said. There was no word of casualties in the attack.

Yes. They are nearly 1/3 as bonkers as the Palestinian militants.

They should have started hunting down Hamas and similar groups years ago.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
