ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE KILLS HAMAS TERRORISTS

IDF takes gloves off
TEL AVIV – At least three Hamas terrorists were killed in an Air Force missile strike near the West Bank town of Salfit, near Ariel, Friday afternoon.

Army gunships reportedly fired at least six missiles at a mountainous area in the northern West Bank described by Palestinian sources as an occasional hiding spot used by terror suspects of various groups.

Following the initial missile barrage, helicopters directed automatic fire at the targets of the attack.

The killed terrorists have been identified as Rabia Kharbawi, Sami Fahami, and Raafat Ayash. All three are members of the Hamas’ Izz-al-Din-al-Qassam Brigades.

Meanwhile, the Air Force targeted an explosive-laden Gaza vehicle it said was carrying four senior Hamas terrorists en route to launching Qassam rockets at Israeli communities. Four Palestinians were killed in the strike, including Aadel Haniya, the nephew of senior Hamas figure Ismail Haniya.
