Aiming for Minister; Hamas sniper hits Israeli Security Minister's aide

Israeli security Minister Avi Dichter is speaking to a group of Canadians of the Canada Israel Committee (CIC), explaining the security situation with the Gaza border in the background:
What the hell is this! They are shooting at us!
Quick, take cover behind the vehicles!
Man down, man down!
We need some air cover here quick, and an ambulance!
OK, situation under control now that we are back on the bus and out of range. I hope this little lesson gives you a clearer picture of the security situation in this sector:
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine:

Side note: the man shot was Mati Gill, Minister Dichter's aide. The images were taken by David Weinberg of the CIC. Mati Gill was shot in the leg and is in "moderate" condition at the hospital. The Canadians will have a colorful story to tell back home. Hamas proudly announced that they were targeting the Minister but missed. Will this green-light the elimination of Hamas terrorist leaders in Gaza?

This little clip below will give you an idea of what a sniper bullet is capable of doing:
