Report: Four killed in IAF gunship missile strike in Gaza
2004-02-28
JPost Reg Req’d
Four people were reported killed Saturday night after IAF gunships reportedly striked a car traveling in the Gaza Strip, Israel Radio reported.
just a random car? I think not...
Palestinians reported at least 15 wounded in the strike, which took place several minutes before 7 P.M. Saturday night, in the Jabalya refugee camp.

One of the dead was reported to be a young girl standing near the car which was targeted by the gunships.
holding a baby duck? Sorry to be so cynical, but with the past record of Paleo witnesses...if a bystander was really killed, sorry, but the IAF didn’t deliberately target her, that’s the difference between the sides
It was still unclear who was the target of the attack.

Among the wounded in Saturday’s strike were three children, said doctors at Shifa Hospital. The identities of the two dead were unclear, and it was immediately known who was traveling in the car.

One of the wounded, speaking from the hospital, told The Associated Press that a helicopter fired at least two missiles at the vehicle.

Hundreds of people gathered at the hospital to check on the condition and identities of the casualties.

An IDF spokesman said he was checking the report.

Israel has frequently sent helicopter gunships and warplanes to kill Palestinians in targeted missile strikes throughout more than three years of fighting.

The last such strike was Feb. 7, when an attack helicopter fired a missile that shattered a car, killing an Islamic Jihad leader in the vehicle and a 12-year-old boy on his way to school.

#8  From the BBC:

Killed were the senior Hamas putz, Dahdouh, a junior Hamas putz, and the junior putz's cousin. All were in the car.

Some bystanders were wounded, including children (and puppies, and baby ducks, etc)

#3  The body of the other victim was so badly disfigured that it couldn't be immediately identified.
That's what a good car-swarm will do.

#2  Update:
Initial reports indicated that the target of the attack was Islamic Jihad member, Ayman Dahdouh. The body of the other victim was so badly disfigured that it couldn't be immediately identified.
