| Israeli soldiers shot dead one Palestinian and wounded two others near the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun Sunday morning, Palestinian medical and security officials said. They identified the dead man as Rami Abu Lehya and said he was apparently a member of one of the militant organizations. Israel Radio reported that Israeli soldiers had spotted three Palestinian militants approaching the fence along Gaza's northern border, apparently with the intention of carrying out an attack. The troops opened fire, killing one and wounding the other two. |
