Israeli Attack Kills Hamas Military Leader
(CNN) Two Israeli Apache helicopters fired at least three missiles Thursday at a car in Gaza City, killing Eyad al Bik, a leader of Izzedine al-Qassam, the military wing of Hamas, Palestinian security sources said. Israel security sources said al Bik was involved in initiating and planning a large number of attacks over the past two years, including suicide attacks inside Israel, that killed 19 Israeli civilians and soldiers and injured many more. In 1999, he was involved in an organization connected to al Qaeda members, Israeli security sources said.
