RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Stepping up reprisals for suicide bombings by Palestinian militants, Israel unleashed air strikes Tuesday, and three missiles hit near Yasser Arafat's office as the Palestinian leader worked inside. Arafat was not injured, and Israel said he was not the target of the strike. In the Gaza Strip, two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli missile attack on a security installation, doctors said. The rockets sent hundreds of school children running for cover. Some were bundled into ambulances, while others stumbled as they tried to get away.
