Israel Blasts Workshop Of Father Of Female Suicide Bomber

GAZA CITY, July 30 (AFP) - An Israeli helicopter destroyed a metal workshop belonging to the father of a suicide bomber in Gaza City late Friday, slightly wounding two people, a Palestinian security source said.
The source said the workshop belonging to Saleh Al-Riyashi was located in the city's eastern Zeitun district.
The helicopter hit it with at least one missile.
The man's daughter, Reem Saleh Al-Riyashi, a 22-year-old mother of two young children and member of Hamas, killed four Israeli soldiers at the Erez crossing point in northern Gaza in January.
It was the first suicide bombing by a female follower of the radical Islamist group.
Thousands of Palestinians use Erez in northern Gaza each day to cross to day jobs in Israel, although the border is frequently closed when the Jewish state imposes security clampdowns.
