Nov. 2 — A Palestinian teenage suicide bomber blew up near Israeli forces in the West Bank on Monday, killing no one but himself, hours after the militant group Hamas ruled out ceasing all attacks on Israelis under any future truce deal.

Relatives identified the Palestinian as Sabi Abu Saoud, 17, from the West Bank city of Nablus and said he was a member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, linked to the Fatah movement.

Hamas, sworn to the destruction of the Jewish state, does not regard the 250,000 settlers living on land Israel occupied in the 1967 Middle East war as non-combatants. International human rights groups consider the settlers to be civilians.

"The only way forward remains unchanged. It is adopting the road map's call for the dismantling of the vast terrorist infrastructure by the Palestinian Authority and the incarceration of terrorist operatives," said Dore Gold, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
