NABLUS, West Bank (AP) — A Palestinian was shot and killed Saturday by Israeli soldiers who said they saw him light a firebomb near a Jewish settlement. He was later identified by his parents, who said he was 14 years old.

The boy, Suhayeb Saleh, was from the village of Assira al-Kubliyeh, near the Jewish settlement of Yitzhar. His parents identified his body at a nearby hospital. The spokesman's office of the Israeli military said the boy also carried a knife. The office it did not know how far the boy was from the soldiers or the settlement.

Suhayeb's parents said the boy's older brother was killed by Israeli troops in 2002 after he opened fire on an army patrol near Yitzhar and wounded four soldiers.

Saturday's attempted firebombing and fatal shooting were the latest in a string of violent incidents involving Yitzhar, home to extremist settlers, and neighboring Palestinian villages.

Earlier this week, settlers set fire to about 200 olive trees belonging to the village of Madameh near Yitzhar, and Israeli police arrested two Yitzhar residents.

Last weekend, Yitzhar settlers went on a rampage in Assira al-Kubliyeh after a Palestinian infiltrated a settlement outpost and stabbed and wounded a 9-year-old Israeli boy.

Outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has denounced the settler rampage, telling his Cabinet this week that "in the state of Israel, there won't be pogroms against non-Jewish residents." However, Israeli human rights groups complain that Israeli security forces are not doing enough to restrain vigilantes.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, meanwhile, warned that time for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is quickly running out. A U.S.-set target date for a peace deal by the end of the year appears increasingly unrealistic, with negotiators reporting little progress.

"I continue to believe that we can achieve a lasting peace, with the Israeli and Palestinian peoples living as neighbors in two independent states," Abbas wrote in an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal.

"But if we do not succeed, and succeed soon, the parameters of the debate are apt to shift dramatically. Israel's continued settlement expansion and land confiscation in the West Bank makes physical separation of our two peoples increasingly impossible," he wrote.

Abbas, who is currently in Jordan, is heading to the U.S. on Sunday to attend next week's U.N. General Assembly in New York and meet with President Bush at the White House on Thursday.

In the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, the Islamic militant Hamas warned it may step up demands in indirect talks with Israel on a prisoner swap. Hamas wants hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel in exchange for an Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, captured by Hamas-allied militants in June 2006.

Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar accused Israel of backtracking, claiming that Israel initially agreed to release 1,000 Palestinians, but now is only talking about freeing 450.

"In this situation, we also will go back on our word and cancel all that has been specified," Zahar was quoted as telling the local Gaza news agency Ramattan on Friday. "Our demands will be much larger than before. If they want a deal, they need to meet our demands," Zahar added.

Israel has been negotiating the swap with Egyptian mediation. Israel is vague on the details, including how many prisoners it is willing to free.

In another development, the Gaza-Egypt border terminal opened Saturday to allow passage of students and medical patients. The Rafah terminal is usually closed as part of a blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt, imposed after the violent Hamas takeover of Gaza in June 2007.

Egypt allows Rafah to open from time to time to deal with hardship cases. This time, Rafah is to be open on Saturday and Sunday. Ehab Ghussen, a spokesman of the Hamas Interior Ministry, said some 3,000 people have registered for departure during the two days.

Among those trying to get out are Gaza students accepted at foreign universities and medical patients seeking treatment abroad.
