JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israeli aircraft hit the Gaza City building housing the office of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh early Sunday, heavily damaging it.

No one was in the building when it was struck.

Shortly afterward, Israeli aircraft also struck a metal workshop in Gaza City and a house to the south belonging to a member of the military wing of Hamas, according to a CNN producer on the scene.

It was the fifth consecutive day in which Israeli forces launched air and ground operations against militants in northern Gaza, aimed at stopping what Israel says is a steady barrage of rocket fire into its towns.

The continuing unrest prompted United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to call for an end to the back-and-forth attacks at an emergency U.N. Security Council session Saturday night.

"I am deeply concerned [about] the violence escalating," he said. "I call on all parties to step back from deeper and even more deadly clashes."

A Palestinian representative warned that Israel's attacks threaten to "derail the peace process" and will undermine any progress that has been made.

In typical UN fashion they call for an emergency meeting only after Israel decides to fight back.

These b@stards can say these things with a straight face. Then cnn reports it as though it had some kind of real meaning.

LOL! And will the new state bird be a construction crane?

[doc1019]

Yep, I just get this mental image of a bunch of goat herders, chasing after their errant flock and thinking great and ponderous thoughts about world peace. ;-)

Any day when CNN whines about what Israel is doing to the Pali’s is a day when I can cheer!

Ree, Ree, kick em in the knee,
Ras, Ras, kick em in the Hamass!

[doc1019]

Your probably right, and, knowing these dumb as$ts will occupy the same building again, Israel now has the coordinates in their firing computers. ;-)

[kingattax]

guess who paid for the damaged building and who will pay to have it rebuilt ?

the american taxpayers ?

ding ding ! i think we have a winner !

"I am deeply concerned [about] the violence escalating,"

I guess it was OK when it was mainly Jews that were having death rained on them? Where was your concern, Mister Secretary General, when the Pali missilers where striking Israel? Hmm.

[rdl6989]

With Haniyeh in it.

[B-Chan]

Way to go, IDF. Take out the trash.

[NoLibZone]

The IDF doing the jobs that the US won’t.

[doc1019]

One can only hope.
