Dateline: GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip
An Israeli helicopter fired five missiles at the car of a senior Hamas
official Thursday, killing him and two bodyguards, the Islamic militant
group said.
Hamas said it no longer felt bound by a three-month unilateral cease-
fire it declared June 29 and threatened retaliation. Two days earlier,
Hamas had carried out a suicide bombing in Jerusalem, killing 20
people, but insisted at the time it was still observing the truce.
"We consider ourselves free from this cease-fire," said a Hamas official,
Ibrahim Hanieh.
The Hamas official killed in the missile strike was identified as
Ismail Abu Shanab.
