Read HERE John Pilger's article "Israeli Terror"
" In the news we get, only the Palestinians are described as terrorists, and yet the Israelis have a long history of terrorism - both before and since the founding of the Jewish state. At least three Israeli Prime Ministers have been involved in campaigns of terror.September 10:
Israel's occupation of Palestine would not be possible without the backing of America. In the oil-rich Middle East, Israel is America's deputy sheriff, receiving billions of dollars along with the latest weapons: F-16 aircraft, bombs, missiles, Apache helicopters.
Today Israel is the fourth largest military power in the world, and it has nuclear weapons. - John Pilger
Israeli F-16s dropped a bomb at a house in Gaza city in an attempt to assassinate senior Hamas political leader Mahmoud Al-Zahar. Al-Zahar narrowly escaped, but his eldest son, Khaled, 29. and his body guard were killed by the bomb blast.Al-Zhar was only lightly hurt in the leg and taken to nearby Shifa Hospital, Al-Shifa hospital spokesman told Agence France-Presse (AFP) . Mahmoud Al-Zahar is a physician by profession, an active academician and a writer . He is a main spokesman of Hamas.
The attempted assassination followed less than 24 hours of two suicide bombings in Israel.
Al- Zahar's wife and daughter were among about 20 people wounded, including some seriously, as rescue workers were looking for more bodies in the wreckage of the house.
The Palestinian Authority appealed for international observers to be sent to the Palestinian territories.

- " Born in 1945 to a Palestinian father and an Egyptian mother, Zahar has three sons and four daughters. He is also an alumni of Faculty of Medicine in Ain Shams University, Cairo. Graduating in 1971, he had a general surgery MA from the same university five years later, and he is now the Palestinian health minister’s advisor.
He had authored a novel called "Nowhere Under Sun" in response to former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s "Place Under Sun". Of Zahar’s literary library is "On the Platform" and two other novels on Yehia Ayash and Emad Aql, Palestinian resistance leaders killed by Israeli gunfire. He also wrote a book on Palestinian refugees and the political intercourse of the Islamic movement. He has two books under publication on media and the problems gripping modern life.
Zahar has also contributed a number of books on the Islamic thought and literary. He played a significant role in the 1978 creation of the Islamic University, where he was also a lecturer, the Nursery School in 1994 and the Al-Nur Studies Center in Gaza. He helped established the Palestinian Medical society. "
The Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, made the following statement and sent to all news organizations, after Israel's attempted assassination of Al-Zahar.
"The targeting of civilian houses is a violation of all red lines. Therefore the Zionist enemy will have to shoulder responsibility for the targeting by us of houses and Zionist buildings everywhere in occupied Palestine.
We reiterate that in the past we have avoided targeting houses and Zionist residential buildings but the enemy was the one to initiate it and the enemy has to harvest what it has sown.
Our painful operations were to tell the enemy that we have struck you when your security arrangements reached a climax yesterday. Our response came, and has not been completed yet.
We sent this message to tell the terrorist (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon and his Nazi government that we are able, by God's will, to achieve our goal in a time which we will determine" .
