Israel shells Gaza police station in flare of fighting
Israeli tanks and naval patrol boats fired heavy machine guns at a Gaza seafront police station used by Force 17, wounding a Palestinian officer in the head. Earlier, helicopters hit two other stations and power was cut to thousands. The attacks followed Palestinian mortar fire on Jewish settlements. Palestinian arrests in Ramallah targeted Tanzim militia leaders Jad Nabi and Hussam Rabiha. Iyad Hardan, an Islamic Jihad follower, buried in Jenin after a fatal explosion. Sixty more Palestinians injured in West Bank and Gaza clashes. Talks on security coordination unlikely after the flare-up and a US mediated meeting ended inconclusively.
