Explosions Kill at Least 13 in Gaza City

[Randy4Randi]

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israeli helicopters attacked a Hamas training field early Tuesday, killing at least 13 Palestinians and wounding 25 in the bloodiest strike in Gaza in months, officials from both sides said. Most of the casualties were members of the anti-Israeli militant group.

The attack came a week after Hamas carried out a double suicide bombing in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba, killing 16 Israelis and breaking a six-month lull in major violence against the Jewish state. The suicide bombers were from the West Bank city of Hebron.

Al-Masri denied that the targeted field was used for training, calling it a summer camp for Palestinian youth.

Hospital officials said at least 13 people were killed and 25 wounded. Witnesses said the casualties were members of the Hamas military wing or supporters. Many wore military-style uniforms.

Israeli missiles kill 14 in Gaza Strip

Israeli missiles have hit the heart of a town in the central Gaza Strip killing 14 people and wounding 40, witnesses and hospital sources said.

Four of those wounded were reported to be in critical condition.

Israeli forces fired into the town of Shijaia and exchanged fire with Palestinian resistance fighters in the area, Palestinian security sources said.

It was still unclear whether the armaments used were surface-to-surface missiles or missiles fired from Apache helicopter gunships.

Gaza sources said there were two rounds of missile strikes: two missiles were fired at first, and then the rest (3) were fired after additional Hamas activists arrived at the scene.
