[Aljazeera] A Palestinian has been killed by Israeli forces and two others were wounded as they tried to retrieve his body in the besieged Gaza Strip, according to local media reports. The incident took place near the separation fence east of Khan Younis in the southern part of the coastal territory, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Sunday. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) faction named the deceased as Mohammed Ali al-Naim, 27, and said he was a member of the organisation. The Israeli military said troops shot dead a Palestinian who was suspected of placing a bomb near the fence. In a statement, the army said it "spotted two terrorists approaching the security fence in the southern Gaza Strip and placing an explosive device adjacent to it". "The troops opened fire towards them. A hit was identified," it said. |

#1 Mohammed Ali al-Naim, rock & sling 'best in class' five years running. He will be sorely missed. |
