Israeli missiles hit Hamas targets, killing 5

? Israel fired missiles at five Hamas targets minutes apart Saturday, killing five people just hours after Gaza militants floated the idea of halting rocket fire on Israeli border towns if the 10-day-old air campaign ends.

After the attacks, Hamas said a truce is no longer being considered.

In all, Israeli aircraft launched 11 missile strikes Saturday. Before dawn, they struck near the house of Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas in a Gaza refugee camp, while troops in the West Bank arrested a Hamas Cabinet minister.

Israel’s offensive is aimed at halting Hamas rocket fire from Gaza at Israeli border towns.

Since last week, dozens of targeted missile strikes have killed nearly 50 Palestinians and damaged many Hamas installations. Israel said some 225 rockets have landed in Israeli towns since May 15, killing one woman and sending thousands of frightened Israelis fleeing.
