Meanwhile, the Israeli government has instructed several top officials not to visit Spain after a Spanish judge approved an international arrest warrant against them for allegedly committing war crimes. A Spanish human rights group filed the case over an Israeli air strike in 2002. Sixteen Palestinian civilians were killed when Israel bombed a crowded area in the heart of central Gaza. Israel says it was targeting a senior Hamas leader who was killed in the attack.
