Two Hamas operatives killed in Gaza missile strike
2003-09-01
JPost - Reg Req’d
Two low-level Hamas members were killed, and as many as 30 were injured when IAF helicopter gunships launched four "Hellfire" missiles at a car driving in the densely populated center of Gaza City today.

The IDF has targeted Hamas militants and terrorists in Gaza in almost daily raids in order to bring the Hamas terrorist infrastructure to its knees.

The target of the attack was not immediately known. In the past two weeks, Israel has killed 10 Hamas members and three bystanders in five such attacks.

Eyewitnesses reported hearing F-16s flying overhead before and after the attack, which occurred along the central Al Wuhda street.

Ambulances raced to the scene of Monday’s strike, near the government complex in Gaza City.

Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi - himself the target of a missile strike in June - called the attack "a another heinous crime against our people This is an old Israeli policy from an enemy which only understands the language of blood."

Rantisi said that he was surprised at the carelessness of the Hamas operatives killed in the attack.

"Although we have issued a statement in which we warned our brothers in the movement of being more vigilant, we wonder why they gave the enemy a chance to attack them, and every Palestinian must consider himself targeted," Rantisi told Gaza-based Al Hurriyeh Radio.

"You should’ve been hiding under your children’s bed day and night like me! It’s safer and you get to spend more time with the family. In fact, I’m thinking of moving my entire explosives lab there"
