| Israeli helicopters attacked a refugee camp north of Gaza City, just hours after a frustrated United States recalled its Middle East peace envoy Anthony Zinni. Two military helicopters launched missile attacks on a Palestinian police station and another security building in the Jabaliya refugee camp north of Gaza City. There were no reports of injuries. The two-storey police station had nearly collapsed and the nearby building used by the personnel of the head of preventive security in the Gaza Strip, Mohammed Dahlan, was hit head-on by the missiles. Earlier in the day, the Israeli army had pulled out of Beit Hanun. Four Palestinians were killed during that incursion. Those killed were a Palestinian border policeman, two teenagers and 12-year-old boy, while another 75 were injured. Another Palestinian was killed near the Gush Katif settlement bloc overnight by the army, which suggested he may have been planning an attack. Another Palestinian was killed by an explosive charge he detonated on the "Green Line" separating Israel from the West Bank near Tulkarem. Police said they thought he was preparing a suicide attack on Tel Aviv. |
