IAF Kills Hamas Mortar Cell Leader
(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - Hamzi Kalah, 35, the head of the Khan Yunis cell of Izzadin Kassam, the Hamas military wing, and responsible for mortar attacks on Israeli villages in Gush Katif in Gaza, was killed Thursday by an IAF helicopter gunship. The strike followed intelligence information that Kalah's cell was preparing to launch a mortar attack. Israel declared it would continue pinpoint attacks on terrorist leaders, as this has proven to be the most effective measure against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Since the beginning of the week, Hamas cells fired 14 Kassam rockets at communities in the Gaza Strip and inside the "green line." Since the so-called cease-fire, 24 Kassam rockets have been fired at Israeli towns.
