Earlier in the week Israeli helicopter gunships fired three rockets at the wheelchair-bound figurehead of HAMAS as he exited the Islamic Association Mosque in the densely populated al-Sabra neighborhood in the center of Gaza City. This, the second assassination attempt on the 66-year-old Yassin, was successful. Israel’s targeting campaign has killed over 337 Palestinians with 40% of the victims being non-combatants since September of 2000.
World leaders and governing institutions have rejected the extra-judicial killing. The United States characterized the US equipped attack as “Deeply Troubling”. Yassin’s murder has sparked outrage in the region and beyond.
