Hamas rocket team leader killed

The Hamas commander in charge of launching rockets into Israel from the Gaza City area was killed Saturday by Israeli ground fire, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

Amir Mansi was also the leading Hamas authority on the Grad long-range missile-launching system, the IDF said.

The use of Grad rockets has allowed Hamas to reach farther into Israel than in previous attacks. The rockets carry more explosives than the more primitive Qassam rockets typically used by Hamas, and some can travel as far as 25 miles.

The Israeli military said Mansi directed and actively fired dozens of rockets at Israel, killing and wounding Israeli civilians.

Mansi was spotted firing a rocket Saturday from the Jabel Rise area, east of Gaza City, during a ground force operation, the IDF said. Israeli forces opened fire, killing Mansi and wounding two other Hamas operatives, who were captured, the Israelis said.

Israel is doing what we should be doing. Fighting the war on terror. As usual we came out of the chute like gang busters then settled down to play patty cake with the rest of the terrorist.[:@]
