GAZA March 22 (Reuters) - Israeli helicopters gunships fired missiles at Hamas’ spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin as he left a mosque before dawn on Monday, killing the Hamas leader and several others, witnesses said.
Remnants of Yassin’s blood-soaked wheel-chair were seen outside the mosque. Worshippers said he had been killed in the strike and his body had been evacuated to a different location. Israel has said it would step up operations to track and kill Islamic militants after a suicide bombing at a strategic port last week.
