Adjust font size:

At least ten Palestinians were injured at predawn on Friday when Israeli warplanes destroyed by missiles two Palestinian owned homes in northern Gaza Strip and in Gaza City, witnesses and local residents said.

Eyewitnesses said that three Palestinian civilians were injured after an Israeli warplane fired two missiles at a house that includes a metal workshop in Gaza City, adding that the house was completely destroyed.

One of the missiles did not explode, said the residents, adding that explosives experts as well as ambulances and firefighters arrived at the scene and evacuated the three civilians to a Gaza hospital.

Shortly before the house was targeted, Israeli F16 warplanes targeted another house in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza Strip, said local residents, adding that the house which consists of four flours was completely destroyed.

Palestinian medics said that seven Palestinians were injured in the airstrike on the house that belongs to a Palestinian militant, member of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah movement's armed wing.

Palestinian security sources reported that the Israeli army notified the owners of the two houses on telephone that they should evacuate their homes because the Israeli warplanes would destroy them.
