Eyewitnesses report Tuesday morning that Israeli F16 warplanes completely destroyed two family homes in the northern Gaza Strip.

In the pre-dawn attack Israeli forces fired the first missile into a house and the moments later fired the next missile into a second home. Amazingly no injuries were reported in this latest attack on Beit Hanoun.

In the middle of the night Israeli warplanes fired missiles at a home in the town of Jabaliya, just northeast of Gaza City. In that bombardment, Israeli forces completely destroyed the home and injured 15 Palestinians in the area.

The home owners had apparently received a warning via telephone from an Israeli military officer, telling them to leave the house before hitting it from the air.
