The article presents a straightforward account of events without apparent bias, but the lack of official statements from the Israeli army may limit the completeness of the narrative.

Witnesses in Palestine report that Israeli army helicopters attacked the center of Gaza City early this morning with rockets. The Israeli army has not issued any statement regarding this incident, and no reports on casualties have been received yet. Police and Israeli rescue officials state that on Sunday, a Palestinian gunman shot at individuals in a communal farm in northern Israel, killing at least 5 people. The incident occurred in Kibbutz Metzer near the West Bank, and several others were injured; the shooter has disappeared. Hours earlier, two Palestinian suicide bombers detonated themselves in northern Israel while Israeli border officials attempted to stop them. Reports indicate that both Palestinians exploded their vehicle when it was stopped by an Israeli patrol in northern Tulkarem in the West Bank, resulting in their deaths. Two days prior, a wanted Palestinian militant was killed by Israeli soldiers in the city of Jenin, and on Sunday, Israeli soldiers retreated from the city to its outskirts.
