  • Story Text: An Israeli missile attack has been launched against
    Palestinian security offices in Gaza, injuring at least one.


    Israel fired missiles at Palestinian security offices
    in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, (September 5) apparently
    responding to mortar attacks in violence that coincided with
    preparations for possible ceasefire talks.

    Palestinian security officials said at least one member of
    the elite Force 17 was wounded when two Israeli
    surface-to-surface missiles struck its headquarters in Beit
    Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip.

    "This attack came without any justification, this attack
    is heinous and criminal and cannot be justified whatsoever,"
    said a leader of the Fatah movement, Yazid al-Hiwihi, standing
    outside of the one-storey building which was almost completely
    destroyed.

    There was no immediate Israeli army comment on the strike
    that followed four Palestinian mortar attacks, which caused no
    injuries, in the Gaza area in the past 24 hours.

    At least 554 Palestinians and 157 Israelis have been
    killed in nearly a year of violence.
