3 Israelis Wounded by Palestinian Gunmen
2005-06-19
Palestinian militants fired light arms and rocket-propelled grenades at Israelis near an army post on the Gaza-Egypt border on Sunday, wounding three Israelis, the army said. One militant was killed in the attack. Two of the Israelis were hurt badly, and one was in moderate condition, the army said. The violence began when the militants shot at soldiers and civilians doing engineering work near the post, the army said. Militants later fired two grenades at the post, it said. The soldiers returned fire, killing one of the attackers. A second attacker escaped, the army said. Islamic Jihad said the attack was a joint operation between its militants and militants affiliated with the Fatah movement. The attack came as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met with Israeli officials to help coordinate Israel's planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
