A Palestinian fighter, a member of Hamas, was killed Monday in the West Bank city of Hebron after the Israeli army, backed by tanks and jeeps, demolished the building in which he was hiding. His body was discovered and then extracted from the ruins and troops were trying to determine his identity. A Reuters reporter saw a body pulled from the rubble with a machinegun next to it and Palestinian security sources said the dead man was a member of the militant Hamas group. The fighter, who was armed with a machine gun, exchanged fire with the Israeli forces before he was killed. The occupation forces arrived at the house before dawn during a routine search for Palestinian activists in the area. The residents of the house came out and told the forces that a masked, armed man had entered the house, threatening them at gunpoint, shortly before the occupation troops arrived. **Qure'i to Gaza to discuss national unity with resistance leaders*** Palestinian Prime Minister-designate Ahmed Qurei'a traveled to Gaza Sunday for talks with the leaders of the main Palestinian resistance groups for talks on the formation of a new national government. Palestinian sources said Qurei'a's talks in Gaza would focus on reaching a new cease-fire with Israel and the possibility of including some Islamic figures to Qurei'a's cabinet. Qurei'a is expected to present his government to the Palestinian legislative council early next week, Palestinian sources said. According to Israel Radio, Qurei'a told the resistance groups, which included Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, that the Palestinians must present a united front. The two chief Islamic resistance groups, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, are unlikely to join the new Palestinian government on the grounds that any Palestinian government would be meaningless under the Israeli occupation. Israel Radio stated that senior Islamic Jihad leader Mohammed al-Hindi said his people will not participate in a Qurei'a-led government, and Hamas spokesman Ismail Haniya said members of his organization will continue talking with the Prime Minister-designate for the time being. However, the two groups have indicated their willingness to negotiate a new cease-fire with the Zionist regime, a sin qua non for the success of the Qurei'a government. Meanwhile, Palestinian sources intimated that the United States was pressing Qurei'a to include in his government two ministers from the outgoing government of Mahmoud Abbas. The two are internal security minister Muhammed Dahlan and Information minister Nabil Amr. **PHOTO CAPTION*** An armed Palestinian takes part in a rally in support of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (poster) in the Khan Yunes refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip.
