#1 Ha'aretz:
"Israeli attack helicopters fired at least 10 missiles at a metal foundry and other targets around Gaza City early on Monday, Palestinian witnesses said

It was not known what other targets were hit and there were no immediate reports of casualties in the early morning air strikes, which came hours after two Gaza suicide bombers killed 10 people at Israel's port of Ashdod.

Much of northern Gaza was plunged into darkness as the
missiles knocked out electricity supplies.

The morning strike knocked out electricity to much of the
northern Gaza Strip.

The Israel Defense Forces did not immediately comment. But Israeli security sources said Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon had convened top brass late on Sunday night to decide on retaliation for the Ashdod attack, which was jointly claimed by Hamas and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of PA Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement."

Nothing on JPost yet. Wishful thinking? If a bigwig was nailed, the terrorists wouldn't be out announcing it ASAP

Rantissi and Haniyeh live in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood...

Any chance the IDF got them?

One can always hope...

#3 Why do they even bother with this pinprick stuff? The Europeans and the Leftists always scream like Israel let fly with an eight hour Corps-level bombardment of the Paleo slums, so they aught to just do that anyway. Right when all the celebrations for the latest murder-bombings begin.
