have killed more than 200 Palestinians since July The Israeli army has
killed a Palestinian youth in the northern Gaza Strip and wounded at
least three other people.

The army says it targeted a man who was collecting a rocket launcher
from an area used to fire rockets at Israel recently.

Palestinian medical sources say the Israeli strike killed a teenager.

The Israeli military began an offensive in Gaza after militants
kidnapped an Israeli soldier in June. More than 200 Palestinians have
been killed in the offensive.







Ismail HaniyaOn Sunday, Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said
his Hamas-led government will not recognize Israel.

He said an Arab peace plan for the region is problematic because it
requires Palestinians to recognize Israel in exchange for an Israeli
pullout from Palestinian territories.

He spoke after a week of deadly political infighting between Hamas and
the rival Fatah party of President Mahmoud Abbas.
