Israel blows away Yasser's Gaza HQ
2002-03-10
  • Israel retaliated for a Palestinian suicide bombing that killed 11 Israelis in a Jerusalem cafe by destroying the Gaza headquarters that Yasser Arafat used as a showcase for Palestinian sovereignty. The Jerusalem blast came just down the street from Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's official residence, hard on the heels of a Palestinian shooting that killed two people, including a nine-month-old baby, in the Israeli city of Netanya.

    Sharon, at his ranch in southern Israel, and Arafat, confined by Israel to the West Bank city of Ramallah, were far from the attacks which the United States said underlined the importance of a new truce mission by its Middle East envoy.
