Israeli aircraft hit Palestinian ministry

The Israeli military confirmed its planes hit the office of Interior Minister Said Siyam, which it called "a meeting place to plan and direct terror activity."

The Interior Ministry is nominally in charge of Palestinian security forces, though moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas removed most of its authority.

Smoke rose from the building in downtown Gaza City, empty because of the late hour. The airstrike took place about 1:30 a.m. Friday.
