Israeli Troops Shoot, Wound Gaza Palestinian
2013-12-22
[AnNahar] Israeli soldiers shot and maimed a Paleostinian man in the southern Gazoo Strip on Saturday, sources on both side of the border said.

Ashraf al-Qudra, a front man for the emergency services in the Islamist Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-run enclave, told AFP the 22-year-old was hit by a bullet east of Khan Yunis and moderately maimed.

Witnesses said the shooting happened when several young Paleostinians who were hunting birds approached the security fence separating the territory from Israel and came under fire.
It's really simple, guys: stay away from the fence and bad things are much less likely to happen to you at the hands of the IDF.
An Israeli military front man confirmed there had been a shooting.

"This morning forces of Evil attempted to conceal an bomb in order to attack IDF soldiers who operate in the proximity of the security fence in the southern Gazoo Strip," a statement said.

After calling on them to stop and firing warning shots, the soldiers opened fire "towards the lower extremities of one of the suspects, identifying a hit."
Ah, the old shot-in-the-foot trick, long a favourite on the Gazan side of the fence.
On Friday, one Paleostinian was killed and four maimed in incidents along the heavily guarded border.

Before Friday, the last deadly incident in Gazoo was on November 1, when four Hamas bully boyz were killed and five Israeli soldiers maimed during an army operation to destroy a Gazoo-Israel tunnel.
