Israeli Helicopters Hit Arafat Compound; He's Unhurt

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli helicopters fired missiles at a building inside Yasser Arafat's headquarters compound Monday, but the Palestinian president was unhurt, Palestinian officials said.

The missiles hit a military intelligence building some 10 to 15 yards from Arafat's office in the West Bank city of Ramallah, the officials said.

The air raid was the latest in a series of Israeli assaults in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in retaliation for Palestinian attacks that have killed 22 Israelis since Saturday.

Israeli F-16 planes destroyed a Palestinian security headquarters in the West Bank town of Bethlehem hours before the Ramallah raid.

Israel has confined Arafat to Ramallah, which is surrounded by Israeli checkpoints, since December, demanding he take tougher action against Palestinian militants.

Again nothing but warning shots here. Next time he is dead.Final warning. They could have easily have stayed there the entire night and blown the place to kingdom come. Colin must have said..."Just scare him"

Accuracy is the ability to hit a target.
Precision is the ability to hit your target, with accuracy, over and over.
Precision comes from practice.

Oh, what a relief. For a minute there, I thought we might not have Yashir to kick around anymore.

"Next time he is dead."

Dream on. They need him alive. He's a great scapegoat. And I think it's interesting that you attribute the actions of Israel to the orders of the U.S.
