Toronto Star: 30 Palestinians injured in Israeli missile attack

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - An Israeli helicopter fired a missile into a crowd in a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip early Wednesday, wounding 30 people, after 10 Israeli soldiers were wounded nearby in a mortar attack. The violence erupted despite U.S. efforts to promote a Middle East peace plan.

Palestinian Gov. Hosni Zoaroub said bulldozers tore down 10 buildings in the camp, which is near Jewish settlements. He said 60 people were left homeless. He said the Israelis withdrew early Wednesday after three hours in the camp.
