“It feels like we’re in war times,” said 56-year-old Mohammed, who heard shouting that night, followed by gunshots. The case has laid bare the weakness of the Palestinian Authority and the strains that a recent surge in violence with Israel is beginning to exert within Palestinian communities. The April 8 killing in the Old City of Nablus - the first slaying of a suspected Israeli intelligence collaborator in the West Bank in nearly two decades - riveted the Palestinian public and cast a spotlight on the plight of collaborators, preyed on by both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He was buried in a field cluttered with discarded animal bones and soda cans outside the northern West Bank city of Nablus. The day after six masked Palestinian gunmen shot and killed al-Ghaleeth over his suspected collaboration with Israel, his family and friends refused to pick up his body at the morgue, the public prosecution said.
Instead, a bulldozer dropped his bullet-riddled body into an unmarked grave, witnesses said. There were no banners with his portrait, no chants celebrating his martyrdom. NABLUS, West Bank (AP) - There was no mourning tent for 23-year-old Palestinian Zuhair al-Ghaleeth.
