Palestinian security: IOF used vacuum bomb in Breij massacre

17 February 2008

GAZA, (PIC)-- IOF warplanes dropped a huge vacuum bomb on the home of Ayman Fayed of the Islamic Jihad Movement on Friday night which was used for the first time with such devastating effect, Palestinian security sources in Gaza revealed.

The sources on Saturday said that the big explosion, which was heard more than 20 kilometers away, and the horizontal destruction of nearby houses along with the internal wounds without any outside signs on the bodies of the casualties pointed to the new type of bomb used in this massacre.

The body of the one of the martyrs was found 150 meters away from the site of the bombing without carrying any superficial wounds but most of his internal parts were damaged as a result of the vacuum explosion.

Eight citizens including the entire family of Fayed (the man, his wife and two children) were killed in the IOF bombing while 60 were wounded and seven houses destroyed and many others damaged.

Ayman Taha, a Hamas spokesman, asserted, while commenting on the massacre, that the struggle with the "Zionist entity" was now open for all options.

He drew the attention to the fact that the world rose on its feet when an Israeli was killed in Dimona but what about the massacre in Breij "What will the world say about it?"
