"At least 20 Palestinians were killed and more than 30 wounded as dozens of Israeli tanks and hundreds of troops swept through this Gaza refugee camp in one of the bloodiest operations of the intifada.
Two of the victims were children, hit by bullets as they played inside their home, while one Palestinian was killed when a bomb he was planting exploded.
Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said that no time limit had been set for "Operation Rainbow" that was designed to smash tunnels used to smuggle in weapons from under the border with Egypt.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat riposted by accusing Israel of carrying out a pre-planned "large massacre", while US President George W. Bush said he was troubled by the violence."
