Israeli Airstrike on Hamas Van Kills Four, and the Associated Press wants us to think this is “the most serious blow to a 5-month old truce.”
Never mind that suicide bombing in Netanya earlier this week, and never mind the fact that this group of killers was riding in a van full of homemade rockets.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - The Israeli military launched an airstrike Friday on a van carrying Hamas militants and a cache of homemade rockets in a Gaza City street, killing four people in what may be the most serious blow to a 5-month-old truce.
The strike destroyed the van, scattering shards of metal and body parts hundreds of yards away. The van was filled with homemade rockets, Palestinian security officials said.

The Guardian’s Jonathan Steele says, “Ostracising Hamas will not help in the search for peace.” (Hat tip: Pooh.)
I agree, ostracizing Hamas isn’t the right approach. Hitting them with missiles is much more effective.
