Another one bites the dust. The new Hamas #1 gets a missle up the ass. Who's on deck?

An Israeli helicopter strike on Saturday night killed the Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, Dr. Abdel Aziz Rantisi, hospital officials in Gaza City said. Dr. Rantisi assumed the post just last month after a similar attack killed the group's founder, Sheik Ahmed Yassin.

The Israeli attack on Dr. Rantisi's car, which was traveling on a main street in Gaza City, came less than five hours after a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up, killing one Israeli security worker and wounding three others in an industrial park near the crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel, the Israeli military said.

While all the world condemns the Israeli action, I have seen no such condemnation about the Hamas attack earlier in the same day. Somehow in this screwed up world, it must still be OK (or expected?) for Arabs/Palestinians to kill innocent people, but not OK for Israel to kill acknowledged terrorist leaders. This is buried at the end of page 2 of the NY Times article on Ramtisi:

But on Saturday afternoon, a Palestinian attacker detonated his bomb in a special industrial zone where several thousand Palestinians work in factories, most of them owned by Israelis. The factories are at the northern edge of Gaza, near the Erez crossing point, an area that has been the scene of multiple Palestinian attacks in recent months.

The bomber was inside the industrial park and set off the bomb next to Israeli security force members as he was leaving the area around 4 p.m., when many workers head home. Four members of the security forces were wounded, one of them a border policeman who later died, the Israeli military said.

Hamas and Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades claimed joint responsibility and identified the bomber as Fadi al-Amoudi, 22.
