JERUSALEM, March 16 (Reuters) - Britain plans to allow diplomatic contacts with non-Hamas members of a Palestinian unity government, in contrast with an Israeli decision to shun the entire cabinet, European diplomats said on Friday.

"Britain is not going to have contact with Hamas but there are members of the government who are not Hamas and British diplomats will be able to have contact with them," a senior diplomat familiar with the decision said.

Israeli rescue workers evacuate a "victim" during a simulated attack, part of a two-day nationwide drill, in Netanya, north of Tel Aviv, March 21, 2007. Air raid sirens sounded across Israel on Tuesday as part of a civil defence exercise that included simulated chemical missile strikes on major cities. Missile strikes on Tel Aviv's main power station and chemical warfare attacks on an industrial area and a cultural centre in the city were among the planned scenarios during the two-day exercise, the army said.
