Missile strike on house in refugee camp kills one

AN Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a house in Gaza’s Jabalya refugee camp yesterday, killing one Palestinian and wounding four others, witnesses said.

The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the latest attack in an 11-day-old offensive in the northern Gaza Strip aimed at stopping Palestinian militants from launching rockets into Israel.

Witnesses said a missile fired by an Israeli aircraft destroyed a house in the heart of Jabalya, killing a Palestinian man who worked in the camp as a teacher.
