TULKARM, West Bank (Islamweb & News Agencies) - An Israeli helicopter gunship fired missiles at a jeep in the West Bank town of Tulkarm on Thursday, killing two people and wounding an a Palestinian Resistance activist on Israel Assassins' hit list, Palestinian officials said.The Israeli occupation army had no immediate comment. Israel's assassins' squads have tracked and killed dozens of Palestinian Resistance activists just on suspicion they were behind attacks against Israelis since a Palestinian uprising against occupation erupted last September.
Palestinian hospital officials said Mustafa Onbas, 19, and Omar Subuh, 21, both low-level members of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction were killed in the Apache helicopter strike on a Nissan jeep at the entrance to Tulkarm.
They said Raed al-Karmi, a Fatah activist on the assassins' hit list was also in the vehicle. He was wounded in the attack.
The Tulkarm incident came a day after a ground-to-ground missile strike against a building used by Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Force-17 security unit in the Gaza Strip in line with Israel's internationally denounced policy of disproportionate response to Palestinian acts of Resistance to Israeli occupation.
