BEIT LAHIYA (GAZA STRIP), OCT. 14. Israeli tanks and bulldozers pulled back from this Palestinian town on Thursday, after tearing up roads, flattening strawberry greenhouses and knocking down walls of dozens of houses in what residents said was the most devastating raid in four years of fighting.
More killed
The two-day foray into Beit Lahiya was part of a major Israeli military offensive in the northern Gaza Strip, now in its third week. As part of the fighting, five Palestinian militants and a 70-year-old man were killed in three separate missile strikes, starting late on Wednesday. The first two strikes hit the Jebaliya camp, killing three Hamas militants. The Israeli military said in both cases, pilots targeted militants planting explosives. In the southern Gaza Strip, about 20 Israeli tanks moved into the Rafah refugee camp on the Egyptian border. Bulldozers destroyed at least 32 homes and damaged 10, according to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, which aids refugees. About 300 Palestinians were made homeless, U.N. aid officials said. AP
