...coolest thing in Taken lasts about three seconds. We see a guy elude his pursuer by jumping from a highway onto the street below and, as he stands up unhurt, get whacked by a truck that neither he nor the audience saw coming.

...stations and the hideouts of several Hamas military commanders. But Israeli attacks also destroyed more than 230 factories, according to the Palestinian Industries Federation.
