Israel kills two handicapped Palestinian women in air strike on home for disabled

Suha Abu Sada probably knew or understood nothing about the suspected Palestinian militants who lived in the flats above her and whose names featured on Israel's assassination list.
 
But it was she, not they, who suffered when a devastating Israeli air strike apparently aimed at the two men flattened the two-storey building where she was a resident in a charity care home for the disabled.
 
The pair – one a member of Hamas, the other of Islamic Jihad, according to a neighbour – were not at home at around 4.30am on Saturday when the strike found its target with deadly force.
 
Instead, the missile killed Suha, 47, and Ola Wishah, 30, two handicapped women who were among eight residents of the home run by the Mubaret Philistine charity, which accommodated orphaned and severely disabled men and women in the building's ground floor.
 
Four other residents and a supervisor were badly injured in the strike. Another two escaped because they were spending the weekend with relatives.
