Extrajudicial Killings
Chronology 2002
In July 2002, Hamas leader Saleh Shehadeh was assassinated when a one-ton bomb was dropped on his Gaza house. Killed with Shehadeh were his wife and 14 neighbors, including nine children. The "collateral damage" was predictable given the population density of the Gaza Strip and the magnitude of Israel's bomb. As EI co-founder Laurie King-Irani writes, "Even Israel's bankrollers and diplomatic guardians in Washington, DC had to admit that this act was wrong and "heavy-handed," in the words of President Bush."
