Palestinian Territories

In his latest tape, Ayman al-Zawahri criticizes Palestinian elections: “Any way other than holy war will lead us only to loss and defeat.” Hamas’s exiled leader Khaled Mashaal said PA leader Abbas ‘counts for nothing.’ Hamas killed 2 PA policemen loyal to Fatah right after the latest ceasefire took hold. A judge with ties to Fatah was shot. Israeli forces kill 2 members of Islamic Jihad in the West Bank.
