The Death of Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Yassin, Hamas Founder
Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Yassin was the co-founder and leader of the Palestinian Sunni Islamist Movement group Hamas. Because of its attacks on civilian targets, Hamas is classified as a terrorist organization by the European Union, the United States, Israel, and several other contries. Yassin co-founded Hamas with Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi in 1987, originally calling it the Palestinian Wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. Ahmed Yassin was killed in an Israeli attack on March 22, 2004. While he was being wheeled out of an early morning prayer session, an Israeli helicopter gunship fired Hellfire missiles at Yassin and both of his bodyguards.

Probally not, as the hellfire is laser-guided. The helicopter (or a ground targeting crew) has to keep the laser fixed on the target until the missile makes contact..... and a human head is a pretty small target.
