Two people killed - a Palestinian woman and her young daughter - and eight wounded when Israel Air Force strike in Khan Younis misses targeted terrorists, hits family eating dinner in their home
An Israeli Air Force strike targeting terrorists in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip Wednesday evening killed two people and wounded eight more, members of a family who were eating dinner in their home.
According to Palestinian reports, an IAF aircraft fired a missile towards a car driving through the city, but it missed the vehicle and struck a building.
The casualties were members of a family who were sitting down to dinner when the missile hit their home. A woman, was killed instantly, and her young daughter suffered fatal wounds and passed away some hours later in hospital. The wounded were identified as Abed al-Kader Ahmad, his wife, mother, three children two of them under the age of five and a pregnant woman, who was in critical condition.
Security officials said the air strike targeted a Popular Resistance Committee terror cell. Palestinian sources, however, said it appeared the missile was aiming at a Magnum van in which Muhammed Sinuar, a commander of the Hamas military wing in south Gaza, was driving.
Hamas has not confirmed the report. Following the strike, all the Palestinian factions threatened to escalate attacks against Israel.
More innocent victims
On Tuesday three Palestinian children 6-year-old Muhammad Roka, his 5-year-old sister Nida and 16-year-old Bilal al-Hizi, were killed Tuesday evening as the Israel Air Force attempted to assassinate a group belonging to the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, the al-Shifa Hospital Director Dr. Jumaa al-Saka told Ynet.
The Israel Defense Forces expressed its regret "if civilians not involved in terror activities were hurt in the operation," adding that "responsibility lays on the terror organizations and on the Hamas government."
Another 15 people were wounded in the strike, including two group activists who were in the car and sustained serious wounds.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Maybe if the hamas and islamic jihad nitwits stopped lobbing missles into Sderot and Israel proper, perhaps innocent people wouldn't be getting killed by Israeli munitions aimed at the perps doing the indiscriminatly firing.

Yep...These terrorists launch missles at Jews during the day...When the work day is done, they figure they can just go home and sit down to dinner with the family and tune in CNN on the news...
Surprise, Surprise...
YUP! There ain't a damned thing Israel can do bout either.
Sorry but this didn't even get my Too-Damn-Bad meter to move.
Why is it palestinians are always eating? Eating dinner or picnicing on the beach. Must be nice never having to work and having the UN send you cash. All they have to do in return is kill Jooz.
Don't worry - there are plenty more terrorists and terrorist sympathizers where these guys came from. :)
Innocent Westerners killed = no big deal
"Innocent" Palis killed = CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
They never disappoint me.
As an after tought she mentions the daily rocket fire on Israel.
Why no such comments the several times a day rockets are fired from Gaza on Israel?
Israel left Gaza. What is the justification for the daily attacks?
Tell them London. What should Israel be allowed to do to protect themselves. And how far did you go to protect the Malvinas when you believed your nationa interest was at stake? And did Israel criticize you?
