Israeli troops raid Gaza camp

Gaza, October 14
Israeli troops and tanks rolled back into a Gaza Strip refugee camp and battled Palestinian gunmen today, days after mounting a devastating raid on the militant stronghold.

Hospital sources said Israeli forces wounded at least three Palestinians in the latest incursion into the Rafah camp, which the army described as a resumption of its search for secret tunnels used to smuggle weapons across the border from Egypt.

The pre-dawn raid in the southern Gaza Strip followed a three-day Israeli operation that wound down on Sunday, leaving eight Palestinians dead. — Reuters
