Israeli forces on Thursday found the body of an Israeli man who may have been killed by Palestinians the previous night. Police were checking whether the body, found in a burned-out car in the Jordan Valley, was that of a 70-year-old man who had business ties with Palestinians. A leaflet issued Thursday by the Al-Aksa Brigade, linked to Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, claimed that one of its members had shot and killed an Israeli there.
