| Israeli strikes wound 4 Palestinians | |
| 2011-04-07 | |
At least four Palestinians have been wounded after Israeli F-16 warplanes pounded several targets in the southern Gaza Strip.
Witnesses said that the Israeli warplanes first struck two tunnels used by the Palestinians to bring in essential items, destroying the tubes that cross under the border between the southern Gaza Strip and Egypt. Another airstrike was carried out on Zeitoon neighborhood in southern Gaza City while a third one destroyed a plastics factory in a nearby area, medics and witnesses said. All of the wounded were at the factory, they added. Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli soldiers gunned down one Palestinian and wounded another in the northern Gaza Strip near the enclaves' Erez border crossing. Israeli warplanes have repeatedly attacked Gaza during the last two weeks. Dozens of people, among them children, have been killed and injured in the airstrikes. Tel Aviv has continuously attacked the besieged territory from the air, land and sea since the end of its devastating war on Gaza at the turn of 2009. The 22-day offensive left more than 1,400 Palestinians killed and thousands more wounded. | |
