STORYLINE:

Israeli military helicopters fired missiles into downtown Gaza City in a pre-dawn raid on Wednesday, sending massive black plumes of smoke over the city as ambulances rushed to the scene, according to witnesses.

Palestinian security officials said four missiles were fired and appeared to target a metal workshop that Israeli forces had fired upon two days earlier.

An army spokesman later said the missile attack targeted a suspected weapons-making facility, and came in response to the firing of mortar shells and rockets from Gaza toward nearby Israeli communities.

Rescue officials said no one was hurt in the strike, but several people were taken to hospital to be treated for shock.

The missiles landed in a crowded area of Gaza City composed of homes, defunct workshops and vegetable markets.

Several houses were damaged, their windows blown out.
