Youths on Gaza frontline keep hatred alive

[dArKeR]

The death of Mohammed al-Juri, a 17-year-old Palestinian schoolboy and gunman, came as no surprise to his family. He was killed at Beit Lahia, on the Gaza-Israeli border, during the biggest battle between Israelis and Palestinians since last month's assassination of the Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

"We felt he was determined to be a martyr," his brother Ghassan said.

The gun battles of the past few days have injured one Israeli officer, killed 14 Palestinians, and wounded a further 45.

Juri, a member of Islamic Jihad, was killed by an Israeli bullet as he went to help pull away the dead body of a fighter from the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an offshoot of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement.

1. Interesting way to phrase it

Are they keeping hatred alive, or is Sharon?
