Two senior Hamas members seriously wounded in Gaza attack

GAZA CITY, Oct 4 (AFP) - Two senior members of the Palestinian radical Islamic group Hamas were seriously injured in an Israeli helicopter gunship attack in Gaza City overnight, Palestinian hospital and security sources said early Monday.
Two rockets were fired at the men, Mohammad Al Simri and Hassan Al Jabari, near the former's home in the east of the city. A Palestinian woman was also said to have been injured in the attack.
Al Simri, a leading figure in the group's armed branch, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, escaped a similar targetted killing attempt by the Israeli army earlier this year.
The latest attack came as the Israeli military carries out a large-scale operation in the northern Gaza Strip in a bid to out an end to rocket fire on Israeli land.
