Hamas condemns alleged shooting of Gaza teen by Egypt
|
[IsraelTimes] Eyewitnesses say teen, three others tried scaling border wall to work in Sinai; mother denies her son was involved in terror
Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, on Saturday condemned the fatal shooting by Egyptian border guards of what they said was a Paleostinian minor on the Gazoo border.
?We condemn the killing (Friday) of the child Zaki al-Houbi by Egyptian army gunfire on the borders. We consider what happened as a dangerous development and excessive use of force,? the Islamist organization said in a statement. ?What happened is not appropriate to neighborly relations between brothers.?
An Egyptian security official said that troops opened fire on Gazooks who had illegally crossed into the Egyptian Sinai, where the army has created a buffer zone to prevent the movement of myrmidons.
?Soldiers charged with protecting the frontier fired at six Gazooks, of whom three succeeded in returning to Gazoo while three were tossed in the clink
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
. One was probably hit by the fire,? an official said.
Gazoo emergency services front man Ashraf al-Qidra said that Houbi was 17 years old.
He was killed in the Gazoo frontier town of Rafah by Egyptian soldiers firing from across the border, Qidra said.
The border troops shot the youth ?in the back and the bullet settled in the heart. He was struck down in his prime,? he told AFP.
He was the first Paleostinian ?to have been killed in a long time? along the border between the Gazoo Strip and Egypt, according to Qidra.
An eyewitness told AFP that Houbi and three others scaled a concrete wall on the border hoping to find work on the Egyptian side.
His mother, Sarah al-Houbi, 35, said that he had ?left home to look for work? adding that her husband was unemployed and the family stricken by the poverty rampant in Gazoo.
She said that he was not a member of any terrorist group and had tried several times to get into Egypt but was sent back each time.
