IAF STRIKES TERROR CAMP


The Israel Air Force struck a Popular Resistance Committees training camp in Rafah on Friday, killing six Palestinians. Among those killed was Iyad Abul Aynayn, 29, a chief bombmaker associated with Hamas. His 5-year-old daughter was also among the dead. Fourteen people were wounded, including one who was in a coma, Palestinian security officials said. Palestinian police said that four missiles were launched in the attack. The IDF said it targeted a car as it was exiting the camp. The security establishment decided recently to step-up its strikes against terrorists following an increase in the number of Kassam rockets launched into Israel from the Gaza Strip, Army Radio reported. Just this week, Palestinian terrorists fired over 40 rockets into the western Negev, including three that were fired on Friday.
