Israeli Apache helicopters, backed by armoured tanks and bulldozers, fired three missiles at a residential quarter of the camp, killing 18-year-old Muhammad Abu al-Nada, 19-year-old Masira Abu Sanima, and 31-year-old Akram al-Habibi in the process.

Seventeen bystanders including Reuters cameraman Bassam Masud, were injured in the attack, according to Dr Ali Musa, director of the Abu Yusuf al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah.

The article goes on to say that that Israel denies involvement and that the injuries were due to Hamas bombs.
