Seven reported dead as Israel targets Hamas leader

The Israeli army has shelled and destroyed the office of the leader of the militant Hamas movement, killing or seriously injuring at least seven people.

White smoke has been seen rising from the building in the West Bank.

It is not clear whether the Hamas leader, Jamal Mansour, was in the office at the time.

Palestinians standing outside the building said they did not know whether the Israelis fired on the office from an aircraft, or from land.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
