Arafat Slams Israel for Raid, Hamas Vows Revenge

[Darranar]

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat accused Israel on Saturday of threatening peace by carrying out a raid against militants, as the Islamic group Hamas vowed to avenge the deaths of two comrades.

Two top Hamas militants and an Israeli soldier were killed in a firefight between the militants and an elite army unit that surrounded a building they were holed up in during a raid in a refugee camp in the West Bank city of Nablus on Friday.

The violence rocked a fragile month-old cease-fire called by Palestinian militant groups and drew vows of revenge by Hamas leaders as well as condemnation by Arafat.
