Two Israeli helicopter gunships carried out a raid in Gaza City early today, destroying a metal workshop and injuring two Palestinians, Palestinian security sources said.
Five rockets were fired at the building, which housed the metal workshop and a goldsmith's workshop, completely destroying it and causing damage to 10 nearby houses in the central industrial area, they said.
Both of the injured men, one of whom was a Palestinian policeman, were hit by shrapnel from the missiles, they said.
The army had no immediate comment on the attack.
The Israeli military has often charged that such workshops are used by Palestinian militant groups to produce a variety of weapons, including crude missiles, used in attacks on Jewish settlements, troops or even Israel itself.
