GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - An Israeli helicopter gunship attacked a car carrying members of the Islamic Jihad on a busy Gaza City street on Saturday, killing a 12-year-old boy and wounding 10 people, according to the military and witnesses.

The militant group, which has carried out dozens of suicide bombings in Israel, vowed revenge after the strike, which ripped apart the front end of a white Peugeot on a busy Gaza street.

Palestinian police sources said a pair of helicopters flew over the car and fired at least one missile. Witnesses also heard the roar and boom of F-16 fighter jets breaking the sound barrier over Gaza.

some kind of "targeted" assasination this time, eh?

now, if these "militants" were not "on duty", then Israel has violated international law by targeting civilians according to some in here.

1. They've been violating it for

more then 3 decades, and nothing seems to stop them. Not as long as they have the unconditional support of US policy...

2. One Yahoo's

militant is another country's terrorist.

BTW, terrorists are always on duty. Count on it.

4. Terrorists are always on duty

If the Palestinian people want to be angry, they should be angry at the terrorists who hide in their midst and put them at risk.
