Palestinians carry the body of Hamas militant after
he was killed in an Israeli air strike in the southern
Gaza Strip February 5, 2008. Israeli forces killed
at least eight Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip
on Tuesday, a day after a suicide bombing in
Israel claimed by the Islamist group.




GAZA, (PIC)- The IOF troops killed Tuesday evening
seven Palestinian policemen affiliated with the Qassam Brigades,
the armed wing of Hamas, and wounded four others after they
fired a ground-to-ground missile at their position in the Khan
Younis city, southern Gaza Strip.

Palestinian local sources told the PIC reporter that the
Israeli missile targeted the policemen while they were
praying at a small mosque in a site belonging to the
anti-riot and intervention forces in Khan Younis.

For his part, Ehab Al-Ghusein, the spokesman for the
interior ministry in Gaza, stated that the Israeli
occupation is trying through its attacks on the ministry's
(and police) headquarters to send a message to the
effect that the security apparatuses in Gaza should be
collaborating with Israel in maintaining its security
and eliminating the legitimate Palestinian resistance.

In another development, Israeli gunboats seriously
wounded Tuesday evening four marine policemen
after they opened heavy machinegun fire at a site
belonging to the marine police located to the west
of the Rafah city, northern Gaza Strip. The injuries
were rushed to the Abu Yousef Al-Najar hospital
in the city.
