Palestinians Warned Not to Collaborate with Hizballah

(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Leaflets distributed in Ramallah on Wednesday warned Hizballah against "meddling" in Palestinian affairs and threatened to punish any Palestinian who collaborates with the Lebanese organization. The leaflets lashed out at Palestinians who received money from Hizballah and accused them of working against the interests of their people. PA officials recently accused Hizballah of inciting several Fatah cells in the West Bank against PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. In a separate development, scores of Fatah gunmen in Ramallah on Tuesday forced shopkeepers to close their businesses in mourning over the death of Issam al-Aqra, 33, a senior member of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, in a road accident. Dozens of Fatah gunmen stormed the Ramallah hospital where Aqra's body was being kept and beat a number of doctors, nurses, and policemen. They then took to Ramallah's streets, firing into the air.
