Three Israeli Soldiers Shot Dead near Jewish Settlement
Three Israeli soldiers were killed and two others were wounded in an attack by at least one Palestinian who early Friday infiltrated a military camp near the heavily guarded Gaza Strip settlement of Netzarim. The head of the Israeli military southern command, Maj. Gen. Dan Harel said one of the Palestinians entered the camp and began shooting at its barracks, while the second remained outside the perimeter fence and fired shots from there. He said troops were searching the area for a possible accomplice. Al Manar television, run by Lebanon's Hizbullah, said a caller to its Gaza office claimed joint responsibility on behalf of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Hamas identified the "martyr" as Samir Hamed Muhammed Fuda, 22, a resident of Jebalya refugee camp. **Two Palestinians Shot Dead in Gaza Strip*** Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian man who they claim approached the fence of the Alei Sinai settlement in the Gaza Strip late Thursday, acording to Israel Radio. Also in the Gaza Strip, three Israelis were lightly injured in a Palestinian shooting attack after nightfall Thursday, according to settlers. A Palestinian was killed, they said. According to reports, shots were fired at a car on a road near the Kissufim crossing point between Gaza Strip and Israel, a route used by settlers to reach their homes in a bloc of settlements in southern Gaza Strip. According to settlers, the Palestinian attacker was shot and killed. Israel Radio reported that two Palestinians opened fire on the vehicle. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Masked member of Hamas' armed wing, Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, march in Gaza City. (AFP/File/Mahmud Hams)
