Al-Jazeera.net and agencies- - An Israeli aircraft has attacked a car carrying two Hamas fighters in Gaza City, wounding at least 10 people.

Hamas said two of its fighters were in the car but escaped unharmed on Sunday. Medical workers said the men were wounded, along with three passersby - two children and an elderly man.




Palestinian witnesses told agenices that the attack took place near a mosque in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood as worshippers were leaving after prayers.

An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed the strike but gave no other details.







Overnight, the Israeli military abandoned a planned air strike on the home of a Palestinian fighter in Gaza after hundreds of Palestinians formed a human shield around the building.

Hundreds of people surrounded the home of Weil Baroud, a commander of the Popular Resistance Committees in the northern town of Beit Lahiya, after he was told by the Israeli army late on Saturday that the building was going to be bombed. He was given 30 minutes to leave.
An Israeli military spokesman confirmed that the raid had been called off because of the protest.

"The attack plan was cancelled because of the people there. We differentiate between innocent people and terrorists," he said.

First of its kind

Palestinian sources called the protest the first of its kind to have in effect prevented an air strike by the Israeli military.

Nour Odeh, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Gaza, reported that it was the first time such an act has been seen in the Gaza Strip by residents.

Baroud is accused of firing home-made rockets at Israel. Crowds of people stood on the rooftop and in the garden of the home.

The Israeli spokesman said that his country would continue its attacks against fighters, and accused them of using the civilians in the camp as human shields.

Nizar Rayan, a local Hamas leader who joined the protest, said: "We came here to protect this fighter, to protect his house and to prove that we are capable of defeating this Zionist policy."

'Yes to martyrdom'

The crowd chanted anti-Israel and anti-American slogans, and people said they were prepared to give their lives to protect the home.

"Yes to martyrdom. No to surrender," the crowd chanted.

Israel routinely orders residents out of their homes before air attacks on what it says are suspected weapons-storage facilities.

Odeh said: "This is a usual type of tactic from Israel in the Gaza Strip. They have been using it for months now. This is a type of psychological warfare.

"Weil Baroud is a member of a political faction that although not represented in parliament, does have a lot of support on the streets, especially in Gaza."
