  • Story Text: Israel vowed to continue its "anti-terror" campaign
    against the Palestinian Authority and militant groups after
    fresh air strikes on Palestinian targets and despite renewed
    U.S. backing for Yasser Arafat.



    Israeli warplanes and helicopter gunships attacked more
    than a dozen Palestinian Authority installations across the
    West Bank and Gaza Strip on Thursday (December 14), killing at
    least one Palestinian and wounding dozens of others.

    Israeli raids have brought tanks to within 100 metres of
    Arafats headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah and
    wrought destruction.

    Israel has said its decision does not mean it would
    target Arafat personally, but Palestinians have branded the
    move a declaration of war.

    The new cycle of violence threatened to wreck U.S. envoy
    Anthony Zinnis mission to end nearly 15 months of conflict.

    Zinni would discuss Israels decision to brand Arafat
    irrelevant and would also talk with the Palestinian leader, he
    said.

    At least 768 Palestinians and 233 Israelis have been
    killed since a Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation
    erupted in September 2000 after a deadlock in peace
    negotiations.
