'Israel Shells UN Headquarters In Gaza

JERUSALEM — Israel's prime minister says the Israeli military fired artillery shells at a U.N. compound in Gaza after militants opened fire from the location.
Ehud Olmert says Israeli forces "were attacked from there and the response was harsh."
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon expressed "outrage" over the Israeli shelling of the compound Thursday.
At a meeting between the two, Olmert called the shelling a "sad incident" but said militants were responsible. The U.N. denies the Israeli allegation.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) _ Israel shelled the United Nations headquarters in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, engulfing the compound and the main warehouse in fire and destroying thousands of pounds of food and humanitarian supplies intended for Palestinian refugees.
The U.N. chief, in Israel for the day, demanded a "full explanation."
A senior Israeli military officer said Israeli troops shelled after coming under fire from Palestinian militants inside the compound _ an account dismissed by a U.N. official there at the time as "nonsense."
