Palestinians: 12 people injured in IAF strikes in Gaza

Israeli aircraft hit 15 houses belonging to Hamas militants early Friday morning, Palestinians said. They said the Israelis either warned nearby residents by phone or fired a warning missile to reduce civilian casualties. Twelve people were hurt in the attacks, hospital officials said.

More than 400 Gazans have been killed and some 1,700 have been wounded since Israel embarked on its aerial campaign, Gaza health officials said. The UN says the Gaza death toll includes more than 60 civilians, 34 of them children. (Reuters)
