Israel Warplanes Destroy Palestinian Foreign Ministry Office

HeadlineJul 17, 2006

Meanwhile Israel has also expanded its offensive in Gaza. Overnight, Israeli warplanes leveled the eight-story Palestinian Foreign Ministry office in Gaza City. On Saturday Israel attacked the Palestinian Ministry of Economy. Since late June Israel has killed about 85 Palestinians in Gaza.

  • Palestinian Government Spokesperson Ghazi Hamad: “This means, that Israel really want to destroy the Palestinian political system and also to destroy the Palestinian government. And this means that it is kind of comprehensive war not only for the returning of the captured soldiers, but I think maybe this is a chance for Israel to destroy the Palestinian democracy”
