(Updated Monday 10AM) Israeli forces targeted the Palestinian Authority's Preventative Security Headquarters in Gaza City last night. Helicopter gunships fired missiles into the compound setting fires, and then tanks and troops moved in leveling several of the buildings. Several Arabs were wounded in the shelling. The IDF says that the compound was used to manufacture weapons and explosives. The forces pulled out several hours later.
Following the operating, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz spoke with IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Yaalon and OC Southern Command Maj.-Gen. Doron Almog, and congratulated them on the successful raid. Mofaz said that the fact that an official PA institution was used for weapons manufacturing proves that a strong link exists between PA security services and terrorist organizations.
