[IsraelTimes] Second man maimed as soldiers open fire on Paleostinians attempting to infiltrate into Israel from southern Gazoo
A Gazook man armed with an ax was killed and another man was injured as they tried to breach the security fence Monday, the military said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the two men approached the security fence east of Khan Younis in the southern Gazoo Strip, damaged the barrier and tried to enter Israeli territory.
"IDF troops arrived at the scene and opened fire, killing one of the terrorists," the army said.
An IDF spokesperson said the second suspect was maimed and fled back into the Gazoo Strip.
Paleostinian media identified the suspect who was killed as Ramzi Najjar, of Khan Younis. It was not immediately clear if he was closely related to Razan Najjar, a 21-year-old female paramedic from Khan Younis who was reportedly rubbed out by Israeli troops on Friday during a riot along the border.
On Sunday night, a group of Paleostinians from Gazoo breached the border fence and set fire to construction equipment inside Israel before fleeing back to the coastal enclave, the army said.
The IDF said the assailants set fire to shipping containers that belong to civilian contractors working on the security fence, damaging Israeli "security infrastructure" near the border. The army said no one was injured in the incident.
