JERUSALEM (Islamweb & Agencies) - Israeli occupation soldiers killed a Palestinian on Sunday, just hours after world leaders at a Group of Eight summit in Italy pressed the warring sides to accept outside observers in the troubled region.Palestinian security sources said an Israeli tank shell killed a 48-year-old Palestinian when it hit his home in the village of Al-Mughraka in the southern Gaza Strip.
Earlier, international powers attending the G8 summit called for Israelis and Palestinians to accept outside monitors of the deteriorating violence, which they said was perilous.
The Palestinian cabinet hailed the resolution and urged that observers be deployed soon.
It also urged Arab leaders to convene an emergency summit on facing the continuing Israeli aggression.
Palestinian President Yasser Arafat travels to Jordan on Sunday to discuss the possibility of a summit with King Abdullah.
Sunday's fatality brought to at least 490 Palestinians, 128 Israelis and 13 Israeli Arabs killed since the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza started in September.
In other intifadha confrontations on Saturday, an explosion in an apartment building in the West Bank city of Nablus seriously wounded a Palestinian man affiliated with the militant Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), witnesses and hospital sources said.

The military unit of the PFLP has claimed responsibility for a number of car bombings inside Israel during the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip which erupted in late September.
Late on Saturday, Palestinian Resistance men detonated an explosive device directed at Israeli occupation soldiers north of the Palestinian-ruled town of Tulkarem in the West Bank.
In a sign that the fighting would not fall off soon, the Israeli occupation army said it had opened bureaus in nine major cities throughout the world in case it needed to call up Israelis traveling or living abroad for military service.
