An Israeli helicopter launched a missile before dawn Sunday striking the offices of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza City. Neither Haniyeh nor any of his aides were in the vicinity at the time of the raid, but the building itself was damaged.
Haniyeh arrived soon after the attack to survey the damage done to his Gaza offices and to condemn the attack. "This is the policy of the jungle and arrogance," Haniyeh told Reuters, adding that the strike "targeted a symbol of the Palestinian people."
"Nothing will affect our spirit and nothing will affect our steadfastness," Haniyeh added.
Also before dawn Sunday, Israeli planes struck the headquarters of a Palestinian Authority security organization founded by Hamas in Gaza, killing one of the group's operatives and wounding another, reports said.
