Israel brings death to Rafah refugee campTuesday 18 May 2004
Israeli occupation forces kill ten Palestinians at the start of a major ongoing raid into occupied Gaza's Rafah refugee camp.
In an initial aerial attack, three Palestinians were killed and eight others injured when Israeli helicopter gunships fired three missiles early on Tuesday morning.
Palestinian medical sources confirmed the victims as Muhammad al-Nawajiha, Walid Abu Jazar and Muhammad al-Jundi. All three were in their twenties.
Israeli occupation forces claimed the victims were members of President Yasir Arafat's Fatah movement and had been armed when the missile was launched at them.
However, residents who dug their bodies out of the rubble said the three had posed no threat to anyone.
