Palestinians take their belongings out of the rubble of a destroyed building following the Israeli military operations in Gaza City on January 14, 2009. Israeli aircrafts pounded Palestinian militants' rocket-launching pads, weapons arsenals and dozens of arms smuggling tunnels near the Gaza-Egypt border, according to the military source on Wednesday, as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon headed to the region to help ease the tension in the Palestinian territory of Gaza Strip.[Xinhua]
