Israeli Air Forces helicopters fired missiles at a house in the Jebaliya refugee camp next to Gaza City early Monday, destroying it, witnesses and security officials said. Five neighbors were wounded by the blasts, they said.
The house belonged to an activist from the Fatah movement, and the Israelis warned him to leave the building before the attack, the officials said.
The Israeli military said the target was a house used by a terror activist for storing weapons and confirmed that he was warned to leave.
For several weeks, Israel has been carrying out late-night airstrikes in Gaza after warning occupants of buildings to get out of the way. The Israeli say they are targeting buildings used by militants for planning attacks or storing weapons and rockets used for firing at Israel. |
