Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip reported Tuesday that they fired a ground-to-air missile at an Israel Air Force helicopter over the coastal enclave.
The shoulder-fired weapon missed its intended target, an Apache flying over the northern end of the area in the early-morning hours, the sources said, according to Israel’s Ma’ariv daily.
However, the aircraft abruptly changed course and left the area in the wake of the attempted hit, according to the report. Palestinian eyewitnesses on the ground said they saw the smoke trail the missile left in the air.
Hamas terror operatives later on warned that the act would provoke an Israeli retaliation, and instructed people to seek shelter, according to the report.
Palestinians on Wednesday fired five rockets and mortar shells into Israel since midnight, according to an Israel army spokesman. There were no reports of physical injuries or damage.
Earlier unconfirmed Palestinian reports said the air force struck dozens of targets across the Strip.

Missle from Libya or Iraq? Nice to know they've reached the terror groups.
Where would terrorists get shoulder fired ground to air missiles?

I wouldn’t put it past Obama to give them MANPADs.
Cut the electricity, cut the water.
If by some devilish miracle the Palis took over Israel, those things wouldn’t be kept working long anyway. Give them a taste of success. /S
Why does Islam have clauses in prayers that state: Allah the merciful...”?
These people, the Muslims are the least mercifull people on the planet. They're hot, tired, hungry and as usual, REVOLTING and the stench is felt around the globe.
Happy Ramadan you blood thirsty vermin!
Why in Sam Hill did he Israeli’s give the Gaza back to these bast*rds. It was a thriving settlement with businesses and schools and security for all.
Take the area back...
Messing with the IAF= Very bad idea
Yes. What bappens when they or brother terrorists mess with a commercial airliner
To avoid the fate of the former "South Africa."
It doesn't have to be fair, and it doesn't have to make sense. I direct your attention to the differential reactions of the American government over three Israeli teens murdered vs. one palestinian teen.
That the Israelis will NOT wipe out these goddamned islamists, and that they even seek to endorse blatant homosexualism and abortion - my God, even after the holocaust - they seem to seek becoming, despite Netanyahu’s “conservative” leadership, a bunch of soetoro mini-hims.
I’m getting dangerously close to thinking they can just go eff themselves.
