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 an outdoor lot, that the army says is used by the Hamas military wing for training.

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 includes offices and a lot used by Hamas to carry out training and hold conferences. It is named after Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who was assassinated by Israel in April.

Way to go IDF!
