Air Force: We Saw No Civilians

(Ynet News) Hanan Greenberg - In the attack on a Palestinian rocket cell Tuesday, two Palestinian children and a teenager were killed. A senior officer said the cell that was hit had carried out rocket attacks on Israel that morning. He explained that the area chosen to strike the vehicle was not crowded and there was almost no traffic on the road. Two missiles were fired at the same time and struck the car accurately. "We are seeking to hit only terrorists and doing everything to minimize the risk that civilians would be hit....Our role is to strike terrorists operating out of these areas so that they don't operate again," he said.
