GAZA CITY (AFP) — Nine Palestinians, including two women, were killed in Israeli bombardments in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, medical sources said, in the latest blitz against the Hamas-ruled territory.
Israeli troops and tanks backed by combat helicopters were operating in the village of Bani Suheila near the southern city of Khan Yunis.
Israeli warplanes also carried out a series of four air strikes across Gaza in response to the firing for the first time in months of a rocket at the Israeli city of Ashkelon, the army said.
Nine people, including a mother and daughter and at least four militants, were killed in the Israeli attacks, while 48 people were wounded and several houses destroyed, witnesses and medics said.
