Israeli forces have raided the Rafah refugee camp since early Tuesday, killing at least 20 Palestinians. Scores of Palestinians were wounded. Some of them could not reach the hospital as Israeli gunships and tanks target them, medics said. Shortly after 4 A.M. (local time) an Israeli helicopter gunship fired a missile at a crowd in the Rafah refugee camp on the Gaza Strip-Egypt border, witnesses said, killing at least four people and wounding 17. The air strike, near a mosque, came as people were gathering for morning prayers, witnesses said. Dr. Ali Mousa of Abu Yousef Al Najjar hospital in the city decried the Israeli crimes against the city and its population, and declared that the capacity of the hospital was not enough to absorb all the casualties around the city. "Some of the dead bodies had to be put in nearby warehouses, as our morgue was not enough to fit them all. We don't have the proper equipment also to perform some of the surgeries here. We need urgent help from the international community to uplift this barbaric siege," he said. The Palestinian Ministry of Health (MOH) called Tuesday on the World Health Organization (WHO) to immediately intervene to stop Israel's massacres against the Palestinian people in Rafah. In its statement, MOH accused Israel of intentionally carrying out organized crimes to kill as many Palestinian civilians as possible. In an earlier attack, three Palestinians were killed and eight people were wounded when an Israeli helicopter fired three missiles at an unoccupied part of the Rafah refugee camp. According to press reports, Israeli tanks and troops moved into the neighborhood of Tel Sultan and began digging a trench to separate the quarter from the rest of the camp, witnesses said. A few minutes after the first missile strike, Israeli bulldozers began leveling land next to the refugee camp. Palestinian security officials said the huge, armored bulldozers moved to the edge of the Qishda section of the camp near the border and began working on land in an Israeli-controlled zone. The massive Israeli raid comes amid international condemnation of Israeli demolitions of Palestinian houses in the area. Early Tuesday, Arab states requested an immediate Security Council meeting to consider Israel's destruction of Palestinian homes in the refugee camp. United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan condemned Israeli continuous destruction of Palestinian homes in Gaza Strip, saying that such acts "causing a very difficult and painful situation for the people of Palestine". **West Bank*** In the West Bank, Palestinian sources reported that Israeli troops killed a 24-year old man.
