Israel Raid Demolishes Gaza homes

Israeli forces shot dead four Palestinians, including a 14-year-old, and wounded dozens more Thursday in a major raid into Gaza days after the first suicide bombing in Israel in nearly six months. Israeli soldiers also blew up two apartment blocs elsewhere in Gaza, making scores of Palestinians homeless. The incursion into the Deir el-Balah refugee camp triggered the worst violence in Gaza in weeks. Israeli helicopters fired warning shots and soldiers shot at Palestinians firing anti-tank rockets and hurling petrol bombs. [more ]  and [more]
