In the Occupied Territories, Israeli troops have arrested more than 30 officials in the Hamas-led Palestinian government. Those detained include the Palestinian education minister, three lawmakers and three mayors. Israel says it made the arrests because the officials had supported the firing of rockets into Israeli territory. The raids followed a series of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip that wounded several people, including a pregnant woman and a teenage boy.
