"The American-tailored reforms are not in the interest of the Palestinians ... and are not currently required. Now, we need resistance, and we need to defend ourselves against Israel,"

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM -- IO
Israeli occupation forces killed two Palestinians in Bethlehem and a village near Jenin Wednesday, May 22, abducted a dozen others, raided the village of Salfit near Nablus, and closed the main road between north and south Gaza.

Israeli forces cut the Gaza Strip road in three and closed the main road of the narrow coastal region at two points, which made it difficult for Palestinian citizens to move or return to their houses.

On the same day, Israeli border police killed a Palestinian man and detained a dozen men in a raid on the village of Silat al-Harthiya, northwest of Jenin. The man was allegedly carrying a sniper rifle and a pistol and wearing an explosive belt, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Islamic Jihad identified the murdered man as Khalid Zakarna, 30, a local leader of their armed wing, saying he was killed fighting the Israeli forces, said AFP.
