Palestinian killed during alleged attempt to sabotage Gaza border barrier

[IsraelTimes] Army says five Gazooks hurt when 'security infrastructure' explodes during attempt to damage underground wall, denies claim they were shot

A Paleostinian man was killed and four others were maimed during an alleged attempt to damage what the army called security infrastructure near the Gazoo border, authorities said Monday.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, five Paleostinian men "tried to sabotage security infrastructure in the area near the barrier north of Gazoo Strip. The security infrastructure went kaboom! and as a result, a number of the bully boyz were maimed."

The Paleostinian Health Ministry said 24-year-old Sabri Abu Khader died an hour after arriving at a hospital, without specifying the cause of his death. The military denied Paleostinian reports that the men had been shot by Israeli troops.

The "barrier" is an underground wall that Israel is currently constructing around the Gazoo Strip, which is meant to thwart attack tunnels dug into Israeli territory from the coastal enclave.

The army would not immediately provide details on what was damaged in the incident, which occurred near the now-abandoned Karni Crossing in the northern Gazoo Strip ‐ a frequent site of riots and festivities between Paleostinians and Israeli troops.

The border incident occurred hours after a flareup between Israel and terror groups in the Gazoo Strip in the early hours of Monday.
Ynet adds:
Five Paleostinian gunnies were maimed and another, killed on Monday after an bomb planted along the Gazoo border by the IDF went kaboom! as they attempted to infiltrate into Israel.

The military has studded the security fence with explosive booby traps designed to deter in light of the upsurge in the number of attempted crossings of the border fence by Paleostinians and frequent sabotaging of the security apparatus.

Since the weekly Friday protests began in the Gazoo Strip under the banner of the "March of Return", dozens of attempts by gunnies have been made to damage the security fence and IDF equipment, much of which is needed for the ongoing work on a stronger security barrier being placed at the border.

Aware that the equipment and work crew constituted a target for the Paleostinians, the IDF decided to lay traps for the would-be infiltrators.
*Snicker* Now to find something similarly effective against those stupid kites...
