Israel raid kills Gaza Hamas 'man'

The BBC no longer calls terrorists 'militants'. Not that they have bettered themselves and now call them terrorists, quite the contrary. A Hamas leader (of terrorist naturally) is now called 'a Hamas man'. The good news is that this Ghoul (YES, THAT'S HIS NAME!!) is nevertheless quite dead.
An Israeli air strike on a car in the north of the Gaza Strip has killed Hamas rocket expert Adnan al-Ghoul and an aide travelling with him.
Mr Ghoul was among Israel's most wanted and a Hamas spokesman vowed "painful" revenge as crowds milled around the mortuary where his body was taken.
As you can see from the picture, there were plenty of other ghouls around in the ensuing Car Swarm (c).

All in all, a good day by any Jew's reckoning.

Update: Haaretz has more on this 'Hamas man'
Al-Ghoul was responsible for assembling a number of explosive devices used in suicide bombings in Gaza, and had masterminded the development of homemade Qassam rockets and anti-tank missiles. Israel tried to target Al-Ghoul and top Iz a Din al-Kassam militant Muhammad Def in 2001, but the two escaped.

Al-Ghoul had been involved in Palestinian terror groups for more than 20 years, starting off in Fatah, and later joining Islamic organizations. For years he received wages from Palestinian security services.
Haaretz (an Israeli newspaper!) calls Hamas terrorists who fire Kassam rockets at Sderot with the aim to murder Jews 'activists'. They compensate this moral outrage by presenting another nice picture from the festivities:

Well, at least life's not dull in gaza.

Update 2: Another picture of Arabs on a memento-hunt

"Ahmed, I'll trade you Al-Ghoul's thumb for these three toenails."
