GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- Israeli artillery shells struck the U.N. headquarters in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, setting a food warehouse ablaze and drawing a sharp rebuke from the visiting U.N. chief who called it an "outrage." Another Israeli bombardment killed Hamas' head of security. The attack added to a day of deadly chaos pitting Israeli troops against Islamic militants. Terrified residents huddled in shelters and stairwells, or scooped up toddlers and fled on foot.
Estranged allies Israel and Turkey are working to mend ties before the release of a U.N. report on Israel's deadly May 31, 2010, raid on a Turkish-flagged ship seeking to run its naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Hamas releases British journalist GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Gaza's Hamas rulers on Thursday released a British journalist they had held for a month amid allegations that he endangered the Palestinian territory's security.
So it went with the other atrocities. Every baby metamorphosed, in the act of dying, into a Hamas terrorist. Every bombed mosque instantly became a Hamas base, every apartment building an arms cache, every school a terror command post, every civilian government building a "symbol of Hamas rule." Thus the Israeli army retained its purity as the "most moral army in the world. Even if the Israeli army were to succeed in killing every Hamas fighter to the last man, even then Hamas would win. The Hamas fighters would be seen as the paragons of the Arab nation, the heroes of the Palestinian people, models for emulation by every youngster in the Arab world.

JERUSALEM -- An anti-tank missile fired from the Gaza Strip struck a school bus on Thursday in southern Israel, wounding two people, one of them critically, and prompting fierce Israeli retaliation that killed five Palestinians.

This conference is literally the government's last hope to avoid bankruptcy,"-she was quoted as saying, adding: "This is the most promising opportunity to seek peace that we have had in nearly seven years. "In the first half of 2007, 58 per cent of Palestinians were living below the poverty line, and 30 per cent in extreme poverty," Oxfam said in a report. "Essential-service delivery and Palestinian institutions were seriously undermined, and the economy declined alarmingly, contributing to unprecedented factional violence among Palestinians."

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - To relaunch Middle East peace talks on Thursday, the Israeli and Palestinian leaders and their American mediators quietly agreed to push aside the question of Hamas - the Islamic militant group that controls one of the two Palestinian territories and rejects negotiations.
