Six senior Hamas members were killed Sunday afternoon in Gaza City as they were preparing an unmanned drone for use on an intelligence gathering or terror mission. Hamas blamed Israel for targeting members of its organization. Israeli officials vowed to continue acting against Hamas. The head of Hamas's military wing was killed in an arrest attempt Monday.
Riyad Abu-Zaid was shot and killed by IDF forces attempting to arrest him near the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Another Hamas member was killed in the operation as well.
Haaretz reported that Abu-Zaid was considered to be the replacement for Hamas leader Salah Shehade, killed by the IDF last July. Israel Radio reported that Abu-Zaid had replaced Mohammed Deif, who was commander of Hamas's military wing until he was seriously wounded in an IDF assassination attempt in September.

Hamas officials charged Israel with targeting members of their organization, either by booby-trapping the unmanned drone they had received or by destroying it by remote control from an IDF drone hovering overhead. Maybe a new term is appropriate: drone to drone warfare.

Hamas blamed Israel for targeting members of its organization. Cockroaches blame Orkin Man for targeting members of its organization.

Just more proof that we are not dealing with the elite of the human gene pool as their PR $'s spent on our left wing mediots would have us believe.
Israel Insider, thanks for the good news. It is obvious that after Sharon got into the offices of Arafarty, a whole lot of premature Islamokazi ejaculations have happened.

First of many, many such drone attacks, in Israel and here.
To: Israel Insider
I've been hearing about these drones for a month. Its so good to see the poor little idiots at HAMAS buy the farm over it. Nothing like a huge setback to your terrorist plans for world domination.
In my opinion, the IDF is doing America a huge service by confronting these groups. I pray every night for their success in doing so. I also pray that Israel lasts a million years, and these fools go extinct in the next few years.
take care insider!
