| [IsraelTimes] IDF says a tank fired at two suspects who attempted to infiltrate into Israeli territory; Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,-run health ministry reports one succumbed to injuries A Paleostinian teenager the army said was shot while trying to breach the Gazoo security fence died of his wounds on Thursday afternoon, according to the Hamas-run Gazoo health ministry. Before dawn on Thursday, Abdel Fattah Abu Azoum, 17, and another Paleostinian man attempted to break through the security fence east of Rafah in southern Gazoo, according to the Israel Defense Forces. "During the night, IDF troops spotted two Death Eaters crawling toward the security fence in an attempt to infiltrate into Israeli territory from the southern Gazoo Strip," the army said in a statement. In response, the tank fired toward them and "prevented the infiltration attempt," the army said. According to the Gazoo health ministry, Azoum sustained a serious head wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead several hours later. The Paleostinian Quds news outlet initially reported that the two were seriously injured by the tank fire. Other Gazoo-based news sites reported that only one of the suspects was maimed. The military said that when troops later searched the area, they found a number of Molotov cocktails. |
