   Israeli  warplanes  have bombed a security compound in the Hamas-ruled
   Gaza  Strip,  killing  two  members  of  the group's military wing and
   wounding four others.
   The  Israeli military says it carried out Wednesday's airstrike on the
   Hamas  facility  in  response to the firing of a rocket from Gaza into
   southern Israel. No Israeli casualties were reported. Hamas identified
   the  two  men  killed  in  the  airstrike  as members of its Al-Qassam
   Brigades.
   A   day  earlier,  Israeli  commandos  seized  a  cargo  ship  in  the
   Mediterranean,  confiscating  what  Israel  says was a massive Iranian
   arms shipment destined for Palestinian militants in Gaza.
   Israel  has long accused Iran of arming militant groups who attack the
   Jewish state. Iran says it gives moral support to opponents of Israel.
