Israeli Airstrike Hits Gaza Camp
2006-05-05
An Israeli aircraft attacked a training camp used by Palestinian militants in Gaza City on Friday, killing five militants, including four relatives of a top commander, Palestinian officials said. The slain men were training at a base used by the Popular Resistance Committees, an umbrella group responsible for numerous rocket attacks against Israel, the officials said. During five years of fighting, the Israeli army has killed dozens of militants in so-called targeted killings.

#5  "The air strike scattered body parts and left pools of blood in a field just yards away from the home of Moumtaz Dourghmush, the group's top militant commander. Dourghmush was not at the scene, but a brother and three cousins were among the dead, hospital officials said." They're dead, Jim.

Great name! Dourghmush sounds Norwegian... or maybe it's what his relatives looked like. :)

Nope, they really are targeted killings, ask the gunner.

#1  Abu Mujahid, an official with the militant group, said at least three missiles landed on the field as members were training. "God willing, this is not going to stop our heroic battle against the Zionists, and the blood is the fuel of our resistance and our reprisal is coming soon," he said.

This would then be classified as a training accident?
