Israelis Fire Missiles On Gaza Beach Kill Four Fighters
Israeli helicopters targeted a group of armed men near Gaza City beach injuring four Hamas fighters including a fugitive commander. The attack followed the Israeli army chief's warning that all Hamas members are potential targets for liquidation. Witnesses described a large blast and scattered flesh in the sand as flares lit the scene. Hamas named the dead as Aishtawi, Hamas, Rub Helal and Abu Labda, with Aishtawi cited as a senior operative. The strike comes amid Palestinian security tensions and a rocky U S backed peace plan. A rocket also landed near Ashkelon four miles from the coast.
