Israel strikes a Hamas office in Gaza: witnesses

GAZA (Reuters) - An Israeli helicopter gunship fired a missile into a Hamas office in Gaza City on Monday, witnesses said, hours after Israel's prime minister ordered the army to intensify operations to free a captured soldier.
The army said it hit a meeting place for militants from a rival organization. It was unclear if there were any casualties.
Israeli aircraft on Sunday attacked the empty office of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas.
The Jewish state has said no one in the Hamas-led government was immune from attack in the wake of the abduction of Corporal Gilad Shalit in a cross-border raid a week ago by militants including some from the Hamas armed wing.
Israel, which pulled out of the Gaza Strip last year, sent troops and tanks into the south of the territory on Wednesday. It has kept on hold a threatened push into northern Gaza.
