Israelis kill a Palestinian teenager, wounding five others.
Israelis kill a Palestinian teenager and wounded five others, including three resistance fighters, in separate incidents in the Gaza Strip.
In the first event, Israeli soldiers shot dead Mohammed Abid, a 17-year-old male civilian from al-Bureij refugee camp, Palestinian sources said on Sunday, adding he was not involved in any armed activity.
"We were informed by the Israeli authorities that their soldiers have killed a youth near the border to the east of al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza Strip," said Mu'awia Hassanin, director and spokesman of the health ministry ambulance department.
Two others were also wounded in the attack and were taken to Israeli hospitals. An Israeli army spokesman confirmed the incident.
In the second incident, three Palestinian activists were wounded in clashes with an Israeli undercover agent in southeast Gaza Strip, medical sources said on Sunday.
The fighting came after Zionist forces invaded the eastern parts of Khan Younis town.
