RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - The West Bank commander of the Hamas military wing surrendered to Israeli soldiers Tuesday after they surrounded his hideout and threatening to demolish it with him inside, witnesses said.
Ibrahim Hamed emerged from the building before dawn and soldiers told him over loudspeaker to strip to his underwear, the witnesses said. Hamed complied, was cuffed and taken to a nearby building. The army said Hamed, 41, masterminded attacks that killed more than 60 Israelis and wounded hundreds. |

May 21, 2006 THE HISTORY of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be glimpsed through a series of maps.
First is the sepia-toned map of Palestine under the British Mandate, circa 1936. On its surface it suggests one unified country where Arab and Jew can live together between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. This is the map that some Palestinians still place on their walls: A whole Palestine, representing the dream of an independent, secular, democratic and Arab-majority state. Many Israelis still see this map as representing their dreams too: Eretz Yisrael, the whole Jewish homeland. Comment: Israel has no right to Palestinian land, save the "right" given by a fictional biblical "god".
