Israelis Kill Palestinian Commader GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - An Israeli incursion early Friday into central Gaza claimed the life of Maj. Gen. Ahmed Mefraj, the highest-ranking Palestinian officer ever killed in a clash with Israeli forces, Palestinian security officials said. Mefraj, 55, a top security commander, died during the sweep into villages east of the city of Khan Younis. Doctors said he was shot with several times. Mefraj, deputy to Palestinian public security commander Maj. Gen. Abdel Razek Majaidie, was also a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council, an arm of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement. In a statement, the Palestinian leadership said Mefraj was killed during Israel's ``brutal aggression'' in the villages. Three other people were killed in clashes with the Israelis, witnesses and doctors said. The Israeli military had no immediate comment. webcenter.newssearch.netscape.com
