Night sky over Gaza and loud AUDIO of airstrike STORYLINE: Israeli aircraft blasted the office of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas early Sunday, the latest military move aimed at winning freedom for an Israeli soldier held in captivity in Gaza for the last week. A Hamas militant was killed in a separate airstrike. The latest airstrikes came after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas indicated the crisis over the soldier was coming to a head. Palestinians said two missiles fired by attack helicopters set the premier's office ablaze, but because of the late hour - 1:45 a.m. (2345 GMT Saturday), it was empty, witnesses said. One bystander was slightly injured, hospital officials said. In a statement about the attack, the Israeli military said it would "employ all means at its disposal ... to secure the safe return" of the soldier, Corporal Gilad Shalit, 19. In other airstrikes after midnight, Israeli aircraft hit a school in Gaza city and Hamas facilities in northern Gaza, where a Hamas militant was killed and another wounded, Palestinian officials said. The military said they were "planning terror attacks against Israel." The 34-year-old Hamas gunman was the second militant killed in the five-day Israeli operation. Exerting pressure on Hamas from various directions, Israel continued to hold 64 Hamas leaders rounded up in the West Bank Thursday night. They include eight Cabinet ministers. Inspecting his burning office, Haniyeh called the Israeli attack senseless. "They have targeted a symbol for the Palestinian people," he said. With Israeli tanks parked in southern Gaza for the first time since Israeli pulled out of the territory last summer, Abbas said Saturday that the coming hours were "critical, sensitive and serious" to resolving the crisis. Abbas said a solution must be found. "Regarding the soldier, we will surely reach an agreement. It is not a dead end. People want an acceptable solution," he said.
