Israeli Air Strike Kills Hamas Leader
Associated Press
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israeli helicopters fired missiles at Hamas leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin's car as it left his house for a mosque at daybreak Monday, residents said, and mosque loudspeakers said he was killed.
Ambulances raced to the scene, and mosques in the area amplified the sound of Quranic verses, as announcements were made calling Yassin a "martyr," meaning he had been killed. Gunfire was heard in the Sabra neighborhood where Yassin lives
Israel has been carrying out an offensive in the Gaza Strip against Hamas militants since a double suicide bombing attack in the Israeli port of Ashdod on March 14. The attack, which killed 10 Israelis, was carried out by two Palestinians who infiltrated into Israel from Gaza.

Nice of the Israelis to send so many of the terrorists onto their 72 virgins... They must not like Yassir very much, haven't sent him onto his yet.
