IAF hits Gaza rocket terrorists

An Israeli Airforce jet fired a missile at an Arab-driven car in the Gaza Strip Monday, as Israel's on-again, off-again war against "Palestinian" terrorism continued.

According to the IDF - and apparently confirmed by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization - the targeted vehicle was carrying Kassam rockets intended to fire at Jewish towns.

Islamic Jihad said two of its killers had escaped injury, while a passerby had been injured.

The strike took place shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert vowed Israel would respond strongly to the incessant Kassam attacks.

Olmert's government has for months vacillated in its response to the rocket firings, often not responding at all in iorder not to "upset" the "peace process."
