JEBALIYA REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip –– Israel intensified its offensive against Palestinian militants – the largest military operation in 20 years – killing 28 Palestinians in raids Tuesday on refugee camps and other targets. Seven Israeli motorists were killed in shooting attacks.
Six of the Israelis were killed when gunmen opened fire on cars near Kibbutz Metsuba, a communal farm near the border with Lebanon. Israeli troops killed two gunman and battled a third for more than an hour. Officials were trying to determine whether the gunmen had crossed over from Lebanon.
That shooting and another in the West Bank that killed one Israeli were apparently in retaliation for Israel's offensive, launched last week after a series of deadly attacks on Israeli civilians.
