Hamas: Israeli airstrike hits leader's office
JERUSALEM (AP) - February 27, 2008 The airstrike on Ismail Haniyeh's office came hours after a
rocket attack by Gaza militants killed an Israeli college student
in the southern border town of Sderot.
Health officials said shrapnel killed a 6-month-old baby whose
family home was near the Interior Ministry.
Hamas security officials said missiles fired from Israeli
helicopters hit the two buildings, which stand amid residences. The
officials said 25 neighborhood residents and two Hamas security
guards patrolling on the street suffered wounds.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
Haniyeh has not used his office recently, although his staff
works there. No one was in the office at the time of the late-night
attack.
