Israeli helicopters have fired missiles at an office of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement and that of another faction in Gaza City. Medics said the Fatah building and offices of the Democratic Front faction were empty at the time of Monday's early morning strike and there were unfortunately no casualties. An Israeli military statement said the missiles struck two offices "which served as focal points for Palestinian terrorist activity" in the raid close to the site of an ambush that killed six soldiers a week ago. Ramzi Ramab, of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, one of the offices targeted, told Reuters his workers had a narrow escape, having managed to flee as they heard the helicopters in the sky, "but the office was destroyed".

The Fatah-linked militant group, al-Aqsa Marytrs Brigades, called on supporters "to launch painful strikes against the enemy" in revenge for the missile strike.
