Palestinian gunmen opened fire on a car in Gaza City carrying a top Palestinian security officer in a drive by shooting that killed the officer and four other people, senior Palestinian security officials said.
The attack occurred near the home of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh in the middle of the afternoon, when the attackers shot dozens of bullets into a gray Audi belonging to Brig. Gen. Jad Tayeh, the head of international coordination in the Palestinian intelligence service, security officials said.
Tayeh was killed along with two of his bodyguards and two civilians, Palestinian officials said.
The motive for the attack was not immediately clear.
And this incident was probably also part of that non-existent strife:
IDF denies that army fire hit Palestinian woman
IDF denied a report on Friday that a Palestinian woman had been wounded by IDF fire near Beit Hanoun.
The army said no troops had been operating in the area at the time of the incident.

Just another day in Fubarstan. Why is this even noteworthy?
The Muslims continue to kill each other, there in Gaza and everywhere else.
Palestinian gunmen killed three young children of a senior Palestinian intelligence officer Monday, pumping dozens of bullets into their car as it passed through a street crowded with schoolchildren - in an apparent botched assassination attempt that could ignite widespread factional fighting.

Those poor kids. The father is a leading critic of Hamas; he's paid dearly for his politics. Tragic.
Very sad.
