Israeli Airstrike Injures 8 in Gaza
JERUSALEM (AP) - An Israeli airstrike late Monday destroyed a house in the Gaza Strip, injuring at least eight people, officials said. The military said an Islamic Jihad command center was targeted but Palestinians said the building was empty.
Palestinian officials said the house had been evacuated two days before when Israeli officials called the residents and told them a strike was imminent.
I simply do not understand why Israel is making these calls. | Eight people were wounded in the attack, two moderately, hospital officials said. Many of the wounded were bystanders, though the house's owner and his wife and children were outside the building during the attack and were wounded as well.
