Forty people were hurt in Gaza, officials added The Israeli strikes were in retaliation for Palestinian attacks on Wednesday which killed ten Israelis and wounded thirty During Wednesday's attacks, Palestinians set off a bomb and opened fire on a bus and several cars in the West Bank, at the same time as two Palestinian suicide bombers blew themselves up next to Israeli cars in Gaza In

;VRS;;13-DEC-2001;Audio: NATURAL;Language: ; STORY: Israel severed ties with Palestinian President Yasser Arafat on Thursday (December 13) and struck Palestinian targets after militants killed 10 Israelis in violence that threatened to wreck a US envoy's peace mission Israeli forces advanced to within 100 metres (yards) of Arafat's headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah after Israel, which has long ruled out negotiations under fire, said the Palestinian leader was not a partner for peace Israeli warplanes carried out more than a dozen strikes in the West Bank and Gaza after Palestinian militants ambushed a bus with a roadside bomb and grenades and machineguns near the Jewish settlement of Immanuel in the West Bank on Wednesday Ten Israelis and one of the attackers were killed Many of the Israeli dead were settlers, whom militants consider legitimate targets as occupiers of Palestinian lands The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an armed organisation linked to Arafat's Fatah group, claimed responsibility for the bus attack and said it was in revenge for recent deadly assaults by Israeli forces But the Islamic resistance group Hamas said one of its members was also among the gunmen In Gaza, two suicide bombers blew themselves up in a Jewish settlement bloc, wounding three people Hamas claimed responsibility, saying it was in revenge for Israel's killing of four militants in a helicopter missile strike in southern Gaza on Tuesday night The dramatic surge in violence dealt another blow to the two-week-old mission of US envoy Anthony Zinni to secure an end to nearly 15 months of Israeli-Palestinian bloodshed Since Zinni's arrival in the region, 44 Israelis and 21 Palestinians have been killed US diplomatic sources said the former Marine Corps general would not abandon his quest After the bus ambush, Arafat took the unprecedented step of ordering the closure of all offices and institutions of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the groups behind dozens of suicide attacks inside Israel But Israel said it blamed Arafat for not reining in these terrorists and the United States repeated its calls for the Palestinian leader to do more to end the wave of militant attacks that have drawn swift Israeli retaliation As the security cabinet met, Israeli F-16s pounded the largest security installation in the Gaza Strip and other targets in a wave of raids that lasted hours They attacked Gaza International Airport, a symbol of Palestinian aspirations for statehood, and an installation in the West Bank city of Nablus which Israel described as a weapons factory Israeli helicopters fired missiles at a Voice of Palestine transmission mast in Ramallah, near Arafat's headquarters Officials said he was in the office at the time Israeli tanks demolished several positions held by Arafat's elite Force-17 and National Security Forces in Ramallah and troops seized five of six entry points into the city and the Voice of Palestine compound, witnesses said

Thursday (December 13), killing several people in an unprecedented attack on the seat of government in the world's largest democracy Several ministers were in the building, next to the prime minister's office, but were not hurt There was no immediate indication of the reason for the attack in a country plagued by a separatist revolt in the disputed state of Kashmir, intermittent political

officials later said he had not yet arrived when the shooting started and had since been taken to a safe location under heavy guard Hundreds of troops in full battle gear took up position around the parliament, sealing off the area as security forces throughout Delhi were put on red alert Authorities fear there are several more casualties in the building and dozens of stretchers were being readied at a nearby hospital, witnesses said All streets leading to the parliamentary complex, home to both houses of parliament and almost 800 MPs, were closed It is the first time such an attack has
