(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - Two Hamas terrorists were killed when IAF helicopters fired four missiles into their commercial van near the entrance to the El-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday. One of those killed was Abdullah Ali Ibrahim Akel, 37, a senior Hamas field commander involved in numerous attacks against Israel who, according to IDF officials, was driving to a nearby warehouse to pick up Kassam rockets when he was hit. Israel has vowed to continue targeting Hamas officials due to the failure of the PA to rein in the group, confiscate its weapons, and arrest those involved in Kassam rocket and mortar attacks on Israeli towns.
