Israeli Troops Kill Palestinian near Gaza Security Fence
A Palestinian was killed by Israeli troops early Sunday near the security fence separating the Gaza Strip from Israel, an army spokesman said.
"A patrol spotted a suspicious figure digging a hole, indicating that he was planting an explosive device," said the spokesman, adding that soldiers had opened fire in his direction.
"His body was found Sunday morning with an AK-47 rifle next to it," he said.
In the past week, Israeli soldiers have discovered three explosive devices near the security fence, all of which were neutralized, the spokesman said.
