JPost - Reg Req’d
An Israeli helicopter fired four missiles at a car traveling between two Palestinian refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing at least one person, witnesses and rescue workers said. Firefighters and rescue workers rushed to the scene and evacuated wounded from the vehicle that was travelling on a busy road between the Nusseirat and Bureij refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip.
Sounds like another Hamas snuffy scratched

#5  More in JPost (Hat tip to LGF):

Hospital officials identified the dead as Farid Mayet, 40, and Abdullah Akel, 37. Hamas sources said both were members of the Hamas military wing.

"I was riding my bicycle toward my shop when I heard the sound of F-16s circling over my head," said an eyewitness, Balal, who declined to give his last name. "Suddenly I saw the car coming from the side of the street, and a missile came and hit the car from the front, followed by another two."

He said he saw a passenger hit by a fourth missile and killed after he jumped from the Peugeot van. The other man in the car was "completely burned," he said. He died later, hospital officials said. Two male bystanders, ages 40 and 45, were wounded by shrapnel, hospital officials said.

Akel is known to be a central figure in Hamas' military wing in the Gaza Strip. Hamas has vowed to avenge the deaths.

Firefighters and rescue workers rushed to the scene and evacuated wounded from the vehicle that was travelling on a busy road between the Nusseirat and Bureij refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip.

Flames quickly engulfed the car and angry crowds gathered, yelling together, "God is great
