Jenin: IAF helicopters fired at gunmen

JERUSALEM POST: Jenin: IAF helicopters fired at gunmen

An Israeli helicopter fired a missile Monday toward a car carrying four Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank town of Jenin, but missed and hit a nearby home instead.

The missile wounded a nine-year-old girl, Palestinian sources said. The gunmen were uninjured and managed to flee the scene on foot.

One of the targeted gunmen in the car was identified as Mahmoud Abu Halfi, a deputy of Zakariya Zubeidi.

Zubeidi is the Jenin commander of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, a terrorist group with ties to Yasser Arafat's ruling Fatah movement, and he is directly linked to numerous terror attacks in Israel.
