Palestinians shout as they inspect the wreckage of a car after it was hit by an Israeli missile strike in the Jebaliya refugee camp adjacent to Gaza City
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Nov 1, 2005 — Israel killed two top Palestinian fugitives Tuesday in a missile attack on their cars, triggering threats of revenge by militants that could further erode the fragile truce between the two sides.
Even as tensions rose, however, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were trying to resolve remaining disputes over new security arrangements on the Gaza-Egypt border.
Earlier in the day, Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the deployment of European inspectors at the border, a breakthrough after weeks of slow-moving talks and a major step toward giving the Palestinians freedom of movement without Israeli controls for the first time in four decades.

But Palestinian negotiators complained that Israel is stalling on other key issues linked to its pullout from the Gaza Strip in September, including creating a passage between the West Bank and Gaza and speeding up the movement of cargo and workers from Gaza to Israel.
In Tuesday's airstrike, missiles slammed into a car carrying the fugitives Hassan Madhoun of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and Fawzi Abu Kara of Hamas. The car was driving on a main road next to the Jebaliya refugee camp when it was hit.
Just minutes earlier, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas had traveled on the same road on his way to Gaza City, Abbas' bodyguards said.

Too bad. Another criminal bites the dust.
a truce?
The palestinian idea of truce is that they will keep firing rockets and sending suicide bombers, but the other side is not allowed to fire on them.
Truce my ass. The IDF needs to send a week long artillary barage into the gaza strip.
How is it that the guy in the center of the photo [the one stuck in the wreckage of the car] appears to be in one piece despite having been blown up? The car around him is in smithereens, but he is not. Ordnance manufacturers are to be reprimanded.
Another one bites the dust :) Good shooting Israel :)
The guy came in after the attack. The palestinian terrorists always come in after attacks and jump around and make a lot of noise.
He's not "jumping around", he [or rather his upper part] are stuck in the middle of it. Maybe the lower [the better and smarter] half of him was blown up.
They get pretty excited by the smell of blood.
Here's the J-Post story with a few more details:

How come the US can't target cars carrying the carrion like the Israelis can?
...terrorists whine, scream and otherwise throw tantrums...
...terrorists complain that Israel wants to limit access to their suicide bombers...
...under pressure, Israel allows 'european' inspectors at border...
...one wonders if this is wise?
Fugitives?
And I thought the media sugar coating would end with the label of militants.
We both (Israel and USA) have our place in combating terrorism and the confusion placed forth is created by the difference between roles in fighting terrorism.
