Israel destroys Hamas interior office in Gaza

Israeli Apache attack helicopter gunship destroyed by three air-to-ground missiles the building of the interior ministry in the deposed Hamas government in Gaza City, witnesses said.

Three consecutive explosions were heard in the northeastern part of the city, said the witnesses, adding that the building of Hamas interior offices was targeted with three missiles fired by Israeli helicopters.

Medics said that four civilians were lightly to moderately injured, who were treated at Shifa Hospital in the city.

The Israeli strike on the interior offices was reactions to dozens of homemade rockets fired by Palestinian militants at the southern Israeli town of Sderot. One Israeli was killed and four wounded during the attack on the town.
