Militants Raid Palestinian Police Station
(AP/Washington Post) In Gaza on Saturday, militants torched an empty Palestinian police station in Zwaida south of Gaza City, pouring gasoline on mattresses and blankets and setting the building on fire. The fire damaged an upper story of the town council, which had recently been renovated with donations from the Danish government. No one was injured, officials said, but police files, computers, and communications equipment were destroyed. In Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza, militants of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades took over the building of the local administration, demanding the reinstatement of 50 comrades fired from their security jobs.
