An Israeli attack helicopter fired a missile early Tuesday at a group of armed Palestinians in the Khan Younis refugee camp, killing two and wounding 22, residents and doctors said. Witnesses said the gunmen fired two missiles at Israeli tanks in the camp before the helicopter struck.
"Mahmoud! Fire at the tanks!"
"Achmed, isn't that kind of dangerous!"
"C'mon, ya wuss! Allah is with us! What could possibly happen?" |
The attack came during an Israeli military operation in two parts of the camp. Tanks and bulldozers tore down four buildings across from a Jewish settlement, witnesses said. Israeli forces withdrew from the area early Tuesday, the army said. The Israeli operation came a day after Palestinian gunmen opened fire on an Israeli vehicle on a nearby road, killing a pregnant settler and her four young daughters. Doctors at Khan Younis hospital said five of the wounded were in critical condition. Some civilians were among the wounded, they said.
