JERUSALEM Israel expanded its air assault on rockets in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, striking a Hamas government compound and a Cabinet building where Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh met with Egypt's prime minister on Friday.
Israeli aircraft also bombed a police headquarters building in Gaza City, which set off a huge blaze that engulfed nearby houses and civilian cars parked outside, the Interior Ministry reported. No one was inside the buildings.
Bombarding the Gaza Strip with more than 180 airstrikes early Saturday, the Israeli military continued to pound their original targets, the militants' weapons-storage facilities and underground rocket-launching sites.
