The head of Lebanon's radical Hezbollah group, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, has urged Palestinians to kill their leader Yasser Arafat for signing last month's peace agreement with Israel.

He also called for the killing of Israeli soldiers and Jewish settlers.

At a rally in southern Beirut, the Sheikh denounced the peace accord and called Mr Arafat a traitor for giving up Palestinian rights and ensuring security for the Israelis.
