Israeli aircraft hit Gaza after rocket attacks (AP)

Hamas police officers take part in a training session on the outskirts of Gaza City, Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009. A Gaza charity linked to the ruling Hamas militant group is offering $1.4 million to anybody who captures an Israeli soldier. The Waad group sent an e-mail on Wednesday calling on people living in Israel to try to take soldiers hostage. The organization, which supports Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, is headed by Hamas Interior Minister Fathi Hamad. He did not return calls seeking comment. Waads director, Usama Kahlout, says the offer is in response to an Israeli groups offer to pay Gazans for information on the whereabouts of a captured soldier held by Hamas for more than three years.
