Key Hamas Terrorist Killed in Israeli Missile Strike in Gaza
[Ha'aretz] Amos Harel, Avi Issacharoff and Fadi Eyadat - Nafez Mansour, 40, a key figure in the Hamas military wing, Izz al-Din al-Qassam, was killed Thursday when an Israel air force aircraft fired a number of missiles at a group of Hamas militants near Shabura in Rafah. Mansour is believed to have been involved in the abduction of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit and in the attack at the Kerem Shalom crossing two weeks ago in which Hamas used explosives-laden jeeps. Security sources said that Mansour had been busy planning another major attack in the near future. Hamas said that Mansour was in charge of a rocket production unit in the Rafah area.
