Palestinian killed on Gaza border Palestinian killed on Gaza border
(4 days later)
Israeli troops have shot dead a Palestinian man, and wounded another, near a border crossing with Gaza. Israeli soldiers have shot dead a Palestinian and wounded at least one other near a border crossing with Gaza.
Gazan medics said they retrieved the body of a 16-year-old boy, who they described as an unarmed civilian, near the Karni crossing. The body of Muhammad Wadi was found after the incident on Friday at the Karni crossing, medics said. Reports put his age at between 18 and 22.
The Israeli military said they would investigate the incident but the group "appeared to be planting explosives". Another Palestinian was injured, while three others were detained by troops.
Clashes have been relatively rare in Gaza since Israel's military offensive in December and January. Israel said they had appeared to be attempting to plant an explosive device along the border fence, but witnesses insisted they had been hunting birds.
'Hunting birds' Earlier reports quoted Palestinian medics as saying they had retrieved the body of a 16-year-old boy. Others said a 16-year-old who was critically wounded had been taken away by the Israeli soldiers.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said one Palestinian had been taken to Israel for treatment. He was in a critical condition. Another three Palestinians had been detained. The wounded Palestinian was being treated at Ashkelon's Barzilai Medical Centre, an Israeli military spokeswoman said. None of Gaza's militant groups has claimed the dead man as a member.
A Palestinian hospital official told the AP news agency that the group were civilians who were hunting birds. The coastal territory, which is controlled by the Islamist group Hamas, has been relatively quiet since an Israeli offensive ended in January, although there has been sporadic violence along the border.
Gaza has been controlled by Hamas since it ousted Fatah forces in June 2007. The strips borders, airspace and coast line are controlled by Israel, and Egypt along the southern border.
The territory is under a crippling Israeli blockade under which only a limited number of humanitarian goods are allowed in.
