Palestinian gunmen Saturday attacked and set fire to the YMCA in Kalkilya, a West Bank city controlled by Hamas. Local government sources identified the attackers as members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The building sustained serious damage, YMCA officials said.
In April, major Muslim organizations in the city in conjunction with local mosques, the city's mufti, and municipal leaders sent a letter to the PA accusing the YMCA of missionary activities. Joseph Medi, the YMCA manager in Kalkilya, said, "There is no missionary activity here whatsoever." There are 50-100 Christians in the town of 28,000.
