Local Editor, 11-1-2010

"Israeli" warplanes have attacked the central Gaza Strip, killing three Palestinians in the area.

Muawiya Hassanein, the head of Gaza emergency services, announced that the bodies of the three were taken to a hospital in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. He added that the eastern part of Gaza was also attacked by Israeli warplanes.

The incident was the latest in an escalating string of airial violence.

Earlier Sunday morning, two Palestinian civilians were shot dead by "Israeli" occupation artillery in the northern Gaza Strip.

A series of strikes have been taking place on the Gaza Strip, as also late Thursday night, "Israeli" warplanes carried out a series of raids on sites throughout besieged territory, killing three Palestinians.
During a cabinet meeting on Sunday, "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to launch "an immediate and powerful response" to any attack at "Israel", claiming that 20 mortar bombs and rockets had been fired at "Israel" from the Gaza Strip last week.
