A leader of Ezzuddine Al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of Hamas movement, on Sunday survived assassination after an Israeli pilotless plane fired a missile on his car in Gaza city. Witnesses said an Israeli plane fired a missile towards a civilian car on a street in Al-Nasr neighborhood in northern Gaza city, noting that the driver was slightly wounded in the blast. They added that the missile hit the vehicle seconds after the targeted leader left the car.
Spokesperson for the brigades Abu Obaidah told a local radio station in Gaza that the target was slightly wounded in the operation, but refused to disclose his name. Abu Obaidah added that all members and leaders of the brigades were informed to exercise maximum security procedures and avoid riding in cars so they don't become targets for Israeli missiles.
