Israeli Attack in Gaza Strip Kills 4 Militants and a Child

JERUSALEM, April 7 - An Israeli airstrike Friday on a car carrying Palestinian militants in the southern Gaza Strip killed six people and wounded about a dozen, Palestinian security officials and medical workers said.

Palestinian rescue workers examined the wreckage of a car Friday after it had been hit in an Israeli airstrike, killing six and wounding a dozen.

The dead included four militants from the Popular Resistance Committees, who were in the car, and a child, according to Reuters, which cited Palestinian witnesses and the medical workers. The identity of the sixth person was not known.

The Israeli military said the car carrying the militants had been the target of the attack after it left a training camp near Rafah, which is just inside Gaza's southern border with Egypt. The military said it had identified militants handling weapons in the camp.

One of those killed was identified as Iyad Abu al-Aynin, regarded as a leading bomb maker for the Popular Resistance Committees. This group includes militants from various armed factions, and has been responsible for much of the persistent rocket fire from Gaza directed at towns in southern Israel.

The crude rockets are inaccurate and rarely cause casualties, but Israel says it will not tolerate attacks directed at its civilians. The Israeli military has intensified airstrikes and artillery fire in recent days against northern Gaza, from which the Palestinian rockets are launched.

Many of those wounded Friday were believed to be civilians, though no figure was immediately available.

Reuters reported that the child who was killed in the attack was one of Mr. Aynin's children and said he had taken them to the base to observe training exercises.

Initial reports said the body was that of his 7-year-old daughter, but Reuters said medics reported that later the family identified the body as the 5-year-old son and said it was not clear if the daughter was among the wounded.

Comment: Note the scurrilous attempt by Reuters to justify the murder of a child:

"Reuters reported that the child who was killed in the attack was one of Mr. Aynin's children and said he had taken them to the base to observe training exercises."

From which we are supposed to think, "oh! this child too was a "terrorist" so deserved to be blown to pieces by Israeli rockets donated by America.

Israeli soldiers used two Palestinians from the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem as human shield as they invaded the camp on Thursday before noon.

Troops took over a building in the camp and turned it into a military post few meters away from the construction site of the annexation wall.

Comment: Consider the inherant evil in the act of and IDF soldier taking a young Palestinian boy and using him as a shield as the IDF illegally invades Palestinian territory with the intent of murdering Palestinians.

Massive fire: The IDF's artillery battery stationed opposite the northern Gaza Strip completed the firing of 1,000 shells at Qassam launching sites in the northern Strip.

The massive fire began last Thursday and continued almost nonstop during the week, as part of the army's comprehensive operation against the Qassam rocket threat.

On Friday, the IDF stationed another artillery battery opposite the southern Strip, not far from Kerem Shalom. After the army completes its operational deployment, it will also start launching shells at Qassam groups' operation areas near and south of the city of Khan Younis.

Another Qassam rocket was fired from the northern Gaza Strip Friday evening, landing near Kibbutz Or Haner in the Sderot area. The rocket fell in an open area, and there were no reports of injuries or damage.

Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip reported that three Palestinians were wounded a short while later by IDF shell fire toward the town of Beit Hanoun, where the Qassam rocket was launched from.

The army is preventing any food from being brought into the building.

The army forced Amjad Aodah's family from their apartment on a lower floor of the building and are holding them and the family of Abu Amare Al Hajd Hamd hostage. The fourteen people, aged between three and seventy, are in a single room on the 8th floor. Internationals and medics have attempted to gain access, but have repeatedly been denied.
