Israeli helicopters and navy ships struck targets in Gaza City after terrorists attacked an Israeli school bus elsewhere in the Gaza Strip. Some 40 missiles were fired at nine targets, including buildings used by various Palestinian security agencies and by Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement. Reports said at least one Palestinian was killed and 25 others were wounded in the strike, which also knocked out electricity in portions of the city.
