Bush: Hamas Attacks On Israel An 'Act Of Terror'. Israel will allow some Palestinians to flee from Gaza Strip. President George W. Bush is branding Hamas rocket attacks on Israel a "terrorist act" and Bush has outlined his condition for a cease-fire in Gaza. Bush chose his weekly taped radio address to speak for the first time one of the bloodiest Midea clashes in decades.
Israeli warplanes have considered bombs in Gaza, targeting Palestinian militant group Hamas, which has traumatized southern Israel to step up rocket attacks. Hamas violently seized control of Gaza in June 2007, expelling forces loyal to the moderate Abbas.

More than 400 Palestinians and four Israelis have been killed in the latest offensive. In his waning days in power, Bush and Rice have been working the phones with global allies. The United Nations estimated Friday that a quarter of the Palestinians killed were civilians.
