Israeli Airstrike Wounds Five Palestinians in Gaza
Date: Wed, Sep 01, 2004
GAZA, Gaza Strip (Reuters) - An Israeli helicopter strike in a Gaza refugee camp Wednesday wounded five Palestinians, including militants, medics said, as military tanks and vehicles rolled into the camp.
The attack on Khan Younis refugee camp, often a target of Israeli raids, occurred a day after militants killed 16 Israelis in twin bus bombings in the southern town of Beersheba.
All four missiles fired hit a street near a hospital in the camp.
A military source said the strike had targeted "an explosive device spotted in an open area" of the camp.
Minutes after the strike, Israeli tanks and military vehicles rolled into the camp and opened heavy fire, witnesses said. The source confirmed there was an ongoing army operation in Khan Younis to target militants.
