Three killed in fresh Israeli raid on Gaza Strip
GAZA CITY - Three Palestinians were killed and 17 wounded Tuesday when two Israeli helicopters fired missiles on a car east of the northern Gaza Strip town of Jabalya, Palestinian security sources said. The three victims, all members of the same family, were killed when the first missile missed its target and hit a building, the sources said.

The second missile destroyed a vehicle, causing only injuries. It was not immediately clear who was targeted by the raid, which came only a few hours after a helicopter attack on Hamas leader Abdul Aziz Rantissi, who escaped with injuries. Meanwhile Hamas demanded the Palestinian Authority freeze all contacts with Israel. "Hamas is asking Abu Mazen to take the only responsible decision and stop all contacts with the Zionist enemy, abandon the roadmap and confirm the right of our people to resist occupation," Hamas said in a statement.
