Gaza Firefighters hit
Eleven Palestinians were killed and up to a hundred injured by Israeli tank fire in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
Palestinians said the tank round crashed into a crowd watching firemen hose down a commercial building set ablaze in the raid.
The Israeli army said the tank shell had hit a man standing in an empty street aiming a rocket-propelled grenade launcher at troops as they withdrew from the area.
A Palestinian Government Minister, Yasser Abed Rabbu, said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon should be held to account.
Rockets fires into Israel
Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip have fired home-made rockets on the southern Israeli town of Sderot after the Israeli army incursion into Gaza. There were no reported injuries.
The Qassam 2 rockets landed in fields outside the town, which lies close to the Gaza border and has been the target of frequent rocket attacks in recent months.
The rocket, built by the radical Islamic group Hamas and named after its armed wing, Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, has a range of up to 12 km.
But it is reportedly inaccurate and has never caused serious injury.
