Israeli Helicopter Fires Missile in Gaza

Date: Wed, Sep 08, 2004

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - An Israeli helicopter fired a missile early Thursday at a group of militants in northern Gaza during an army operation there, wounding at least one person, witnesses and hospital officials said.

Israeli tanks and troops moved into northern Gaza early Wednesday, taking over areas where Palestinian militants fire homemade rockets at Israeli towns just across the Gaza fence.

During the day, soldiers opened fire on Palestinians throwing rocks at the tanks, wounding 13, one of them seriously.

The witnesses said the Israeli forces were moving slowly toward the edge of the sprawling Jebaliya refugee camp, and the helicopter fired the missile at a group of gunmen gathering to offer resistance.
