#3 update:
An IAF aircraft fired several missiles at a car traveling in the Abasan neighborhood south of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip Monday afternoon.
Mohammed Suleiman Abu Nasira, a local terrorist leader and the target of the attack, was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, Palestinian hospital officials said. He was seriously burned and threatened revenge from his hospital bed.
"The (Israeli) crimes will not pass without punishment," he told The Associated Press by telephone. "I will continue my mission to terrorize the enemy (Israel), and we will win the battle."
A second terrorist, Ali Al Shaer, 26, was killed, hospital officials said. Abu Nasira is the local commander of the Popular Resistance Committees in Khan Younis. The Committees is an umbrella group of terrorist organizations that has claimed responsibility for two bombing attacks on Israeli tanks. Al Shaer also belonged to the group.

An Israeli helicopter fired a missile at a Palestinian vehicle traveling in the southern Gaza Strip on Monday, killing one person and wounding three others, Palestinian hospital officials said. The attack targeted a pickup truck in Abbassam, east of the town of Khan Younis. The officials said the vehicle belonged to a member of the Popular Resistance Committees, which includes several militant groups. Witnesses reported an Israeli helicopter circling overhead after an explosion in the area. The Israeli military did not comment on the report. Israel has carried out a number of attacks in the Khan Younis area since a Palestinian mortar attack killed an Israeli woman in the nearby Jewish settlement of Neve Dekalim last Friday.
