"This is not a matter of a personal decision by Marwan," said Kadoura Fares, another of the leaders who met Barghouti on Thursday. "It's a matter of a majority in the movement."
Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israeli aircraft fired missiles at northern Gaza early yesterday, wounding two Palestinians, residents said. The military said the targets of the airstrikes were access routes to areas in northern Gaza where militants launch rockets. At least six rockets landed in Israel on Thursday, one near the coastal city of Ashkelon.
