Israeli army kill 18 in Gaza

Mourners in Beit Hanoun

At least 18 Palestinian people have been killed and 40 wounded after Israeli tanks fired on a town in Gaza.

A number of houses in the town of Beit Hanoun were hit in the raid, which was meant to target fighters who have been firing rockets into Israel.

Israel has said it is sorry for killing the innocent people, and is apparently looking into what happened.

Palestinian leaders say the United Nations should get together to stop Israel attacking their country.
