Special Report: Palestinian suicide bomber kills 6 in Tel Aviv

    GAZA, April 17 (Xinhua) -- An Israeli Apache attack helicopter fired at least one missile onto Gaza City late on Monday night, causing damages but no casualties, Palestinian witnesses and security sources said.

    The witnesses said that the Israeli helicopter fired at least one missile at a metal workshop in central Gaza City, causing severe damages to the shop.

    The Israeli army said that the air strike was targeting a factory used by Palestinian militants to make rockets.

    The Israeli missile attack came just hours after a high-ranking security meeting chaired by Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz decided to avenge a deadly Palestinian suicide bomb attack in Israel's Tel Aviv earlier in the day.

    A Palestinian suicide bomber, member of the Islamic Jihad (Holy War), blew himself up at a restaurant in Tel Aviv on Monday afternoon, killing nine Israelis and wounding dozens of others. Jihad, which is bent on Israel's destruction, vowed to carryout more suicide attacks inside Israel. Enditem
