UPDATED: IDF BOMBS HAMAS TRAINING CAMP

Palestinians: At least 14 killed in IAF missile strike in Gaza
At least 14 Palestinians were killed and 30 wounded when Israel Air Force helicopters hit a Hamas site in Gaza City around midnight Monday, witnesses said. Four of the casualties are critically wounded, and witnesses said all were either members of the Hamas military wing or supporters. The strike targeted a Hamas community center complex, including a building and a yard, that the army says is used by the Hamas military wing for training.

Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri denied that the targeted field was used for training, calling it a summer camp for Palestinian youth.

However, dozens of members of the Hamas military wing, Iz a-Din al-Qassam, were meeting at the building during the time of the attack, Palestinian sources said. The building is named after Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who was assassinated by Israel in April.

IAF helicopter gunships fired at least five missiles at the building, located in the Sajaiya neighborhood in the eastern part of Gaza City, a known Hamas stronghold, witnesses said. The helicopters hovered overhead after the explosions.

UPDATE: Arafat’s puppet prime minister, Ahmed Qureia, says that Israel’s strike on a Hamas training camp gives Hamas carte blanche to murder Israelis:

Qureia: Israel Strike Will Invite Response.
RAMALLAH, West Bank - Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia warned Israel that its air strike Tuesday that killed 14 Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip will invite a response from the group, adding that any retaliation for the killings will be justified. “This crime cannot be accepted ... No crime goes unpunished,” Qureia said at a meeting of the Palestinian Cabinet. “For sure there will be retaliation, and the retaliation will be justified if it happens.”
