Israeli Missiles Fired at Car in Gaza
Associated Press
Monday, September 1, 2003; 11:39 AM
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israeli helicopters fired four missiles at a car carrying Hamas militants Monday, killing at least one of them and wounding 26 on a crowded Gaza City street in the sixth such attack in two weeks.
Three men were in the car, witnesses said, and at least one got away.
Israel has been waging war on Hamas in retaliation for a deadly suicide bombing that killed 21 people on a Jerusalem bus Aug. 19. With Monday's attack, 14 Palestinians, including at least 10 Hamas members, have been killed in missile strikes.
A cease-fire declared June 29 by Hamas and other militant groups collapsed shortly after the bus attack, when Israel killed a senior Hamas leader, Ismail Abu Shanab, in a helicopter missile strike.
Hoping to arrange a new truce - and clear the way for progress on a U.S.-backed peace plan - Egyptian leaders staged talks Sunday in Cairo between Hamas representative Osama Hamdan and Palestinian Authority legislator Ziad Abu Amr, a Palestinian official close to the talks said Monday.
It was the first known meeting between the two sides since the Palestinians broke contact with Hamas after Aug. 19 suicide bombing. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the contacts would continue and that both sides have presented ideas for a renewed cease-fire.
Hamas leaders have gone into hiding with the Israeli strikes and could not immediately be reached for comment.
In Monday's attack, missiles hit the small car as it moved along a crowded side street in downtown Gaza City.
Salman Abu Nour, 42, said he was working in his printshop when the missiles hit. "I rushed outside, and saw a car like a ball of fire. I brought my fire extinguisher and helped people to fight the fire," he said.
The man killed was identified as Khader Houssre, a 36-year-old Hamas member, said hospital spokesman Gomma Saka.
The missile strike came as army chief Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon was quoted as telling Cabinet that Israel is prepared to send an infantry brigade into the Gaza Strip to stop Hamas rocket fire. Troops also critically wounded a 15-year-old Palestinian in a clash with stone-throwing youngsters Monday, as more than 1 million Palestinian students in the West Bank and Gaza returned to classes. The Israeli military eased restrictions in some of the reoccupied West Bank towns to allow Palestinians to get to school.
In the city of Nablus, hundreds of students threw stones at tanks and jeeps in several locations. Troops fired tear gas, rubber bullets and live rounds to disperse the crowds, witnesses said.
A Palestinian threw a firebomb at a tank near the main square, where about 70 stone-throwers were assembled. The top of the tank caught fire, said Palestinian rescue worker Ala Aratrut, who saw the incident. "A soldier from inside the tank began shooting randomly. The top of the tank was going round while the shooting went on," said Aratrut, a witness.
A teenager fell to the ground after being shot in the head, the rescue worker said. Doctors said the boy, age 15, was in critical condition. The Israeli military had no immediate comment. Israel's Cabinet convened Monday, and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told ministers that there will be no letup in the campaign against Hamas and other militant groups.
"We are continuing our operations against Hamas and other terror groups to prevent them from harming Israel's citizens," he said.
Yaalon was quoted by various Israeli media as telling the Cabinet that he is prepared to send an infantry brigade into Gaza, if necessary, to stop Hamas rocket fire. A brigade would consist of about 3,000 soldiers, including fighters and support personnel.
In the past three years of fighting, Israel has carried out several ground offensives in Gaza but has shied away from reoccupying large areas of the densely populated coastal strip, focusing instead on air strikes. However, Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Sunday he was ready to order a ground offensive if rocket fire does not cease.
In the past two years, Hamas has fired dozens of rockets at Israeli settlements in Gaza and border towns in Israel, causing minor damage and injuries. However, Israel considers the rockets a strategic threat - particularly last week's hit in the industrial zone of Ashkelon. Sharon has said he believes Hamas was trying to hit a large power station nearby.
The Israeli military said Monday it is planning to build 40 to 50 bunker-type rooms for Gaza settlers to protect them from rockets and mortars.
The latest bloodshed has left the U.S.-backed "road map" to peace, which envisions a Palestinian state within three years, in tatters.
The United States has been pressuring the Palestinian Authority, under Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, to crackdown on militants, something he is reluctant to do for fear of sparking internal strife.
The Palestinian Authority prefers to pull the militant groups into the fold of a new truce - which led to relative stability during the time it lasted - rather than confront them.
