An Israeli helicopter gunship fired a missile into the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip today and wounded at least three Palestinians.
The air strike came on the third day of a large Israeli incursion into the northern Gaza Strip, an operation the army said was aimed at stopping militants from firing makeshift rockets into southern Israel.
It followed a night of gunbattles in Jabalya, a militant stronghold, as Israeli troops held positions just inside the camp.
Israeli forces have killed three militants and three civilians and wounded more than 70 people since the raid began on Wednesday when a tank force seized parts of the northern Gaza Strip.
