Israeli forces backed by helicopter gunships battled gunmen in two Gaza refugee camps today after killing four Palestinians the army said were on their way to attack Jewish settlements.
The army said it sent infantry supported by assault helicopters to the Nusseirat and Bureij refugee camps as part of its “continuing battle against terrorism.”
In a separate incident, Israeli police said they killed a Palestinian gunman who broke into an Israeli home near the West Bank. A couple there escaped when his rifle jammed, police said.
