Hamas doubts cease fire as Yassin rejects armistice term
Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin rejected the notion of a true cease fire, stating Hamas is not an army but a people defending themselves. The dispute came as CIA Chief Tenet prepared to press regional security cooperation with Israel and the Palestinian Authority amid ongoing violence. Israel eased some restrictions after a Tel Aviv bombing that killed 21, including the bomber, while clashes erupted in the West Bank and a baby was seriously injured by rocks near a car.
