One Seriously Injured in Israeli Airstrike on Gaza

GAZA, June 20, 2012 (WAFA) – One Palestinian was seriously injured and another received light injuries when an Israeli gunship Wednesday fired two missiles at a car parked outside a house in Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, medics said.

The gunships fired the missiles at the car parked near a blacksmith shop in the neighborhood, said sources, causing the injures along with fire and damage to the buildings.

Israeli warplanes continued for the third day in a row airstrikes against several locations in the Gaza Strip causing severe damage to buildings and some injuries, but no fatalities, according to witnesses.

Warplanes fired three missiles at a location west of Zaytoun neighborhood leading to the destruction of the location and causing severe damage to properties.

Jets also fired a missile at a navy training base in the Sodanya area, northwest of Gaza. No injuries were reported.

The airstrikes started in revenge to a cross-border attack on the Egyptian-Israeli borders during which one Israeli civilian was killed. The two attackers, who turned out to be an Egyptian and a Saudi national according to a video tape distributed on Tuesday by an al-Qaeda affiliated group, were also killed in the attack.

Israel retaliated against the Gaza Strip killing at least six people and wounding many others. Armed Palestinian groups retaliated by firing dozens of missiles at Israeli cities bordering the Gaza Strip.
