Israeli helicopters fired three missiles at a target in Gaza City on Tuesday evening, according to Palestinian sources quoted by news agencies.
Initial reports said that at least 15 people were wounded in the attack. Unconfirmed reports said that the shells targetted a car of a Hamas operative.
Israel said last week that all Hamas activists were considered "legitimate targets."
And Hamas has said that all Israelis, no matter their sex or age (including newborns), were considered "legitimate targets."
Amen to that. But at least they came up with another word besides "militants," so they get points for creativity. (grrrrr!!)

Can you imagine Israelis jumping up and down on a bombed-out bus? These Palestinians are a mighty strange species of hominid.
