One Palestinian killed, many wounded of Israeli attacks

The Palestinian Ala' Muhammad al-Saroudi ( 15 year old) was shot during confrontation between the Palestinian resistance fighters and the Israeli army forces in Rafah, where the Israeli bulldozers leveled the land before a military position near the border area with Egypt while other scores of Palestinians were wounded during a clash with the Israeli forces in Nablus.

Meantime, the Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon renewed his objection to discuss the American plan concerning the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians known as "road map" before forming the Israeli government in February.

In statements for the Israeli radio yesterday, Sharon indicated contacts with Palestinians that he did not identify. He said that these contacts will continue away from members of the current Palestinian authority.

Sharon added that his seven visits to the US as a prime minister were not a coincidence. He disclosed a plan with the USA that meets the common interests in the two countries.
