Israeli warplanes strike Gaza Strip: witnesses

 Gaza City (AFP) Feb 9, 2009
 Israeli warplanes carried out air strikes Monday on the Gaza Strip that caused damage but no injuries, witnesses and Palestinian security sources said.

An Israeli F-16 fired two missiles against a police post near the southern city of Khan Yunis, sparking a fire.

An Israeli helicopter also carried out a raid in a unpopulated area of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, but caused no casualties.

"Aircraft intervened against a Hamas position in Hamas near Khan Yunis and another at Beit Lahiya," an Israeli military spokesman confirmed.

Palestinian militants fired two rockets Sunday from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip into southern Israel that caused no injuries, the military spokesman said.

Militants have fired about 40 rockets and mortar rounds since Israel ended on January 18 its 22-day military offensive against the territory which caused 1,330 Palestinian deaths.

Israel, which launched its assault on December 27 with the stated aim of stemming rocket attacks, has warned of "the severest riposte" to any further rocket fire.

WAR REPORT
Outside View: Hamas choices divide Arabs
 Washington (UPI) Feb 5, 2009
Arab support for the Palestinians has been the bedrock of Arab diplomacy for decades, but the recent Israeli military action against Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip has divided those backing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party and those supporting its Hamas rival. A series of meetings before and after last month's unilateral Israeli cease-fire could mark the beginning of significant changes in Arab diplomacy concerning the Palestinians. Arab attitudes toward the emerging threat of a nuclear-armed Iran are also in flux.
