Five Palestinians Wounded in Israeli Gaza Raid
Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip against training camps used by the armed wing of the territory's Hamas rulers left four children and a woman wounded overnight, Palestinian medical sources said Thursday.
The five Palestinian civilians were hit by shrapnel but their wounds are not life-threatening, the sources said.
One of the strikes targeted a camp used for training by the Ezzedine al-Qaddam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamist Hamas group that has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007, Palestinian security officials said.
In a previous raid on Monday jets retaliated to rockets fired on southern Israel following the burial of former prime minister Ariel Sharon at his ranch near the border with Gaza.
