THE head of the armed branch of Palestinian radical movement Islamic Jihad in the West Bank region of Nablus was killed early today by the Israeli army, Palestinian security sources said.
Hamad Abu Sharif, chief of the Al Qods Brigades, was shot dead by troops in the old town of Nablus in the north of the West Bank, they said.
An Israeli military spokesman confirmed the death of an armed activist, saying: "Soldiers operating in the old town opened fire on armed men killing one of them."
Two members of a Palestinian militant group, the Popular Resistance Committees, had been killed in an Israeli air strike early yesterday.
Israeli and Palestinian sources said that the pair, implicated in the firing of rockets, had been targeted in the Khan Yunis area of southern Gaza.
Palestinian medical sources said that two teenagers were also shot dead during a big Israeli army raid on a refugee camp near Nablus.
The latest killing raised the overall toll since the September 2000 start of the Palestinian uprising to 4960, four-fifths of them Palestinians, according to an AFP count.

armed activist... Is that what they're calling terrorists these days?

Gotta love AFP:

Four-fifths of them are Palestinians. Curiously, AFP fails to mention that 90-95% of the losses on the Palestinian side are men of military age, most of them actively engaged in hostilities; losses on the Israeli side are about evenly split between men and women, young and old, as you would expect when Israelis are being killed indiscriminately.

The Israelis are trying to stop them from carrying out a sentiment like this:
I'm you will agree, "Never Again!"
