Israel Attacks Gaza, Kills Four Palestinians
21/6/2007 2:37:28 AM Israeli forces raided Gaza from air and through land on Wednesday, killing four Palestinians. The firing of missiles and surge of tanks is the deadliest military action since Hamas militants took control of the coastal strip.
Israeli aircraft fired missiles at two rocket launchers in northern Gaza in retaliation for militant rocket fire on Israel. Four Hamas militants were killed in a gun battle when the Israeli tanks rolled about 600 yards inside southern Gaza before daytime.
Two Palestinian militants were killed in the West Bank in a predawn shootout with Israeli troops.
Meanwhile, a UN agency has warned that there is a possibility of food scarcity in Gaza within weeks if the main cargo crossing with Israel was not reopened.
