Three killed by Israeli gunship attack

Israeli helicopters fired at least four missiles at a car in Gaza City today, killing three people and wounding at least 20 in the sixth such attack in a fortnight.

Israeli helicopters fired at least four missiles at a car in Gaza City today, killing three people and wounding at least 20 in the sixth such attack in a fortnight.

The target of the attack was believed to have been an Palestinian militant.

Israel has been waging war on the Islamic group Hamas in retaliation for a deadly suicide bombing that killed 21 people on a Jerusalem bus last month.

Including today’s attack, 14 Palestinians, including at least 10 Hamas members, have been killed in missile strikes.

The missiles hit a small car as it was driving in a crowded side street in Gaza City.

Witness Salman Abu Nour, 42, said he was working in his printshop when the missiles hit.

“I rushed outside, and saw a car like a ball of fire. I brought my fire extinguisher and helped people to fight the fire,” he said.
