Sat 11 Nov 2009Israeli troops kill man in Gaza Strip after alleged attempt to plant bomb
ISRAELI TROOPS briefly entered the Gaza Strip yesterday, killing a 20-year-old Palestinian, wounding another man and detaining three others.
The incursion, south of Gaza city, came in response to what the Israeli forces believed was an attempt by the men to plant explosives along the border. According to Palestinian sources, though, the young men were unarmed civilians hunting birds and none of them belonged to militant groups.
