RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Several Palestinian resistance factions denounced the Israeli killing of an elderly man in Al-Khalil city on Friday and the kidnapping of five hunger strikers, saying these crimes are direct results of the Palestinian Authority's security cooperation with Israel.
Islamic Jihad said that the PA's security collaboration with Israel reached a very serious level which entails a decisive national position against it.
It added that these crimes unveiled once again how fragile the security situation is in the West Bank which resulted from the Fatah-controlled PA's security commitments towards the Israeli occupation.
The Movement stressed that such crimes also proved further that the legitimate weapon in occupied Palestine is the one able to defend the Palestinian people and protect them against the Zionist threats and dangers.
For its part, the popular resistance movement stated that the Israeli detention of the five hunger strikers after their release from PA jails confirmed the PA's involvement in this crime.
The popular resistance stressed that the PA's persistence in cooperating with the Israeli occupation against its people is a national crime and a departure from the Palestinian norms and values.
Hizbuttahrir, for its part, said that the shameful positions demonstrated by the PA and Arab leaders towards Israel's barbarism encourage it to persist in its violations against the Palestinian people.
The democratic front for the liberation of Palestine also condemned the killing of an aged man and the kidnapping of political hunger strikers immediately after their release from PA jails.
It emphasized that such crimes would never break the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and the will of their resistance.

DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement held the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel fully responsible for killing at dawn Friday an elderly man in Al-Khalil city and kidnapping five hunger strikers immediately after their release from PA jails.
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) seeking to assassinate a resistance fighter from Hamas Movement in Al-Khalil city early Friday mistakenly shot dead a 65-year-old Palestinian man called Omar Al-Qawasmi.
They also kidnapped in full coordination with the PA intelligence apparatus five hunger strikers after they were released from West Bank jails.
Hamas in a press release on Friday said the assassination of this elderly man and the kidnapping of five hunger strikers took place in the context of the security cooperation and the exchange of roles and information between the PA security militias and the IOF commandership.
Hamas called on all Palestinians to go on marches in protest at these crimes and the PA security collaboration with the Israeli occupation, stressing that this cooperation only serves Israel's settlement and Judiazation activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.
For his part, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told a news conference on Friday that the PA militias helped the IOF to kill an elderly man during a raid on his apartment and kidnap five hunger strikers after their release from their jails in the West Bank.
Spokesman Abu Zuhri added that the raiding Israeli troops wanted to kill Hamas leader Wael Al-Bitar during a raid on an apartment building, but they confused his home with another one and killed an old man as he was sleeping in bed thinking he was Bitar.
The spokesman emphasized that the persistence of both the PA and the IOF in kidnapping and killing Hamas cadres and supporters in the West Bank would never succeed in undermining the strength and steadfastness of the Movement.
In a related incident, the Palestinian refugees in Yarmouk camp in Damascus organized a sit-in on Friday afternoon to condemn the killing of Qawasmi and the PA's collaboration with the Israeli occupation.
In his speech during the event, Dr. Nawaf Attakruri, a member of the association of Palestinian scholars, urged the Palestinian people in the West Bank to revolt against the PA and the Israeli occupation as one enemy.
"You started the intifada (uprising) in 1987 with stones and knives and now you should revolt with what is available in your hand even if the enemy and its collaborators banned the means of resistance because the death of dignity is more desirable than the death of humiliation," Dr. Attakruri underscored.
He stressed that it is not appropriate to call what the PA is doing in the West Bank security coordination, but it should be called treason and betrayal.
In this regard, thousands of Palestinian citizens in Gaza city and Rafah area participated in massive marches called for by Hamas to express their anger at the PA's security collaboration with the Israeli occupation that led to the killing of the aged man and the kidnapping of five hunger strikers.
