Three Reportedly Killed in Israeli Strike in N. Gaza
2004-10-03
An Israeli aircraft fired two missiles Sunday at a group of Palestinians who had just launched a homemade rocket, killing three people in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian hospital sources and witnesses said. The Israeli strike came just seconds after the militants fired off rockets, Palestinian sources said.
An instant rebuttal by the IAF.
The first Israeli missile hit two men on an empty cart and the second hit a nearby group, witnesses said. The militants were from the Popular Resistance Committees, an umbrella group of Palestinian militant groups, Palestinian sources said. The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
That's 30 toes up by my count. A dead Jihadi is a good Jihadi.

#3  These oxygen sinks aren't worthy of a Hellfire. Save it for the Arab tanks. The 30mm chain gun is just as good and is much more entertaining on the gun camera video.

#2  The article at the Command Post, from Ha'artez, seems more informative;


Palestinian security sources reported Sunday afternoon that an Israel Air Force helicopter fired missiles in northern Gaza’s Jabalya refugee camp killing two Hamas men riding a donkey cart.

The two men had just earlier fired a Qassam rocket that crashed into an open area outside the western Negev town of Sderot, causing no casualties or damage, and were attempting to flee the area in the cart.


The dead men were identified as brothers Fadi Na’ami, 19, and Bassam Na’ami, 21. Another man, Loui Hamad, 20, was in critical condition and had lost his legs, Palestinian hospital officials said.


Escaping on a donkey cart? "Giddyup there Dobbin, we've got a Hellfire on our tail!"
