JABALIYA,
Gaza Strip, August 26 (IslamOnline.net) - An hour
after Palestinian Premier Mahmoud Abbas arrived in Gaza for talks with
resistance factions on a new truce, a U.S.-made Israeli Apaches fired a
volley of rockets at a densely-populated neighborhood, to the north of
Gaza, killing a 70-year-old Palestinian and wounding 23 others,
including four children.
As
part of its unabated assassination campaign against Palestinian
resistance activists, two Israeli helicopter gunships fired a volley of
rockets at a Palestinian Renaut driving through the Abad el-Rahman
neighborhood, reported IslamOnline.net correspondent.
The
missiles completely destroyed the vehicle, killed Hassan el- Hamalawy,
70, who happened to be standing by and wounded 23 others, including
three children in life-threatening conditions.
Hamas
sources told IOL the new Israeli assassination attempt targeted members
of Ezz el-Dine el-Qassam Brigades, who were able to escape the car
seconds before the bombardment.

Mohammad
el-Bardaweil, a 19-year-old eyewitness, told IOL correspondent that two
Israeli rockets were fired at two vehicles, a Renaut and an Opel,
apparently targeting three resistance activists.
As
the occupants of the cars run for their life, the Israeli helicopter
gunships fired a third rocket wounding several by-passers in the crowded
streets.
Defying
world condemnation of its assassination policy, Israel adamantly vowed
to press the so-called "targeted killings" of Palestinian
resistance activists.
