Israeli armored vehicles mass near a border crossing into Gaza Thursday.


(CNN) -- Just hours after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon instructed 
forces to "take all necessary steps" against Hamas, an Israeli helicopter 
gunship late Thursday struck a donkey cart in southern Gaza, killing a Hamas 
militant and wounding three people nearby, Palestinian sources and witnesses 
said.

The cart was traveling in a residential neighborhood in Khan Yunis in 
southern Gaza when it was struck.

Witnesses said the Hamas member was traveling alone in the cart when it was 
struck by three rockets fired from an Israeli helicopter.

They said he was killed instantly. Three other people near the cart were 
wounded, witnesses and hospital sources said.



--Of course, no word on the donkey....

How narrow we selfish, conceited creatures are in our sympathies!  How blind 
to the rights of all the rest of creation!
John Muir (1838-1914)
