Hamas vows revenge for missile attack

HAMAS threatened revenge yesterday after an Israeli helicopter blew up a car on a busy Gaza City street, killing a Hamas militant who was involved in making and firing rockets at Israeli towns.

Six bystanders were wounded, two of them seriously.

The missile struck Khaled Abu Shamiyeh, 30, as he was riding in his car in Gaza City. Abu Shamiyeh was the head of Hamas in Gaza’s Sheik Radwan neighbourhood.
