An Israeli F-16 warplane fired one missile at a Palestinian house in northern Gaza Strip Saturday night, destroying the building and wounding two civilians, Palestinian medics and witnesses said.

Witnesses said that one Israeli warplane flew over northern Gaza Strip and fired one missile at a two-storey house in Jabalya refugee camp and destroyed the building.

They said that the house belonged to a senior Hamas official in northern Gaza Strip, adding that an Israeli army officer phoned the house's owner and ordered him to evacuate immediately.

"Asharf al-Silawi told his neighbors that he received a warning that Israeli aircraft would bomber the house. Shortly after he evacuated the house, one warplane fired one missile at the building," said one of the neighbors.

Palestinian medics said that two of the neighbors were moderately injured after they were hit by rubbles.
