NABLUS, West Bank, March 9 (Reuters) - At least one Israeli helicopter gunship fired up to four missiles early on Saturday at Palestinian Authority installations, including the office compound of the governor in Nablus, Palestinian officials said.

The governor's compound in the West Bank city had been evacuated in advance and there were no immediate reports of casualties in the strike that caused extensive structural damage.

Palestinians have mostly abandoned security posts that have been targeted by Israel in an escalating wave of fighting. It was the latest in an Israeli military offensive against a 17-month-old Palestinian uprising.
