JERUSALEM, June 27 (AP): Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday killed eight Palestinians, including a 12-year-old boy, Palestinians said, the bloodiest fighting in the area since the Hamas militant group violently seized control two weeks ago.
The sudden outburst of violence came as the "Quartet" of Mideast peace mediators was expected to name outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair as its new envoy. A formal announcement was expected later in the day, but Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern said Blair had already accepted the post.
