GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - An Israeli helicopter gunship fired at least one missile at the Gaza City office of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh early on Sunday, witnesses said.
They said Haniyeh, a top Hamas official, was not believed to be in the office at the time.
On Saturday, Palestinian militants holding an Israeli soldier issued a new set of demands, calling for the release of 1,000 prisoners and a halt to IsraelÂ’s military offensive in Gaza. But Israel rejected them.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian deputy minister of prisoner affairs, Ziad Abu Aen, said mediators had told him the Israeli soldier, Cpl. Gilad Shalit, was injured in the June 25 raid in which he was captured but was alive. “He has three wounds. I guess shrapnel wounds,” Abu Aen said, adding that Shalit was in stable condition.
