Two members of the Islamic Jihad were killed and three Palestinians bystanders were lightly wounded Tuesday evening when IAF missiles hit a Subaru car traveling northwest of Gaza City, not far from the Sha'ti refugee camp.

Islamic Jihad said one of those killed was Bashir Aldabash, 40, one of the group's top officials in Gaza. The second person killed was Zarees Alareer, also a member of the Islamic Jihad.

"Bashir Dabash has ended his career," head of IDF Operations Directorate Brig.-Gen. Yisrael Ziv told reporters after the strike.

Witnesses said one missile hit the car, which had two passengers in it, sending the vehicle bursting into flames. Another missile missed the vehicle.
