(KUNA) -- An Israeli soldier was killed by an armed Palestinian activist in east Gaza Strip on Saturday, Israel Radio said. The radio quoted a military spokesman as saying that the Palestinian shot dead the Jewish soldier at a cross-point between Rafah city and the northern part of the West Bank. The Palestinian who tried to use a car to flee the scene was chased by an Israeli patrol which killed one person in the car and arrested another. The Israelis were not sure if the man, who was killed, was actually the activist who shot dead the solider.
Meanwhile, Al-Aqsa Brigades, the military wing of Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for firing three rockets on the town of Sderot in southern Israel. |
