Hamas rocket chief is killed Uzi Mahnaimi Tel Aviv
THE mastermind of Hamas’s long-range rocket attacks on Israel was killed yesterday in an airstrike, according to Israeli military sources.
Amir Mansi, an engineer who commanded cells responsible for firing Grad rockets supplied by Iran, died after coming under attack from a helicopter.
The Israeli army said he had been trying to fire mortar shells at their troops when he was targeted. Mansi headed the Hamas military wing’s Gaza Strip rocket division and “played a big role in Grad rocket attacks on Israeli communities”, a military spokesman said.
He was killed after a Grad struck the Israeli town of Gedera, near the Tel Nof airbase, where nuclear weapons are believed to be stored.

After years of hearing about various terrorist leaders being killed, I can only hope that they are better at picking the best guy for the job than we are.
If so, their next round of leaders should have IQ’s around 50.
Whereas, in this country that’s where we’re starting from.
The senior officer said that shortly before his death Mansi clashed with his subordinates, who refused to come out of their hideouts. The rocket chief was left with no choice but to launch mortar shells himself, and was killed after being identified by the army.
he blow’d up reel gud.
The grunts said it wasn't safe.
And sure enough, it wasn't.
I would have loved to have seen the look on his face when there wasn’t 72 virgins waiting for him!
Sniff. He was such a nice guy.
Yep, sometime the quarterback has to carry the ball himself.
How’s that workin’ out for ya Mansi?
Don’t pull on Superman’s cape, Achmed.
