Four people killed in IAF strike on car in Gaza City*****
Palestinians reported that eight other people
were injured in the strike, among them four,
including a child, in moderate to serious
condition.
Security sources said that the assassination was
carried out in order to thwart a double suicide
bombing planned by Hamas's military wing in the
near future.

Hamas sources reported that only two of the dead
belonged to the group, while the other two were
members of Force 17 who were present on the
scene.
The strike took place at approximately 9:45
P.M., between the Rimal and Sheih Ag'alin
neighborhoods on Gaza's beachfront. Witnesses
reported that IAF Apachi helicopter gunships
fired at least three anti-tank missiles at a
Palestinian car carrying Aishtawi and Alhumes
that was approaching a Force 17 road block.
According to the sources, two missiles were
fired at the car, killing the two on the spot.
Two Force 17 men who noticed the blast fled the
scene, when missiles were also fired at them
killing them as well.

And in other news:
'Arafat to be expelled after next big terror
attack'Army Radio on Sunday quoted sources in Jerusalem
as warning that "Yasser Arafat will be expelled
from the territories after the next big terror
attack." The sources said that although a final
decision has not yet been made on the matter,
another large-scale attack would compel Israel
to expel Arafat.
