Israeli Soldiers Kill 3 Palestinians
Israeli soldiers shot dead three Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including a teenager and two men, Palestinian medics and an Israeli military source said.
An Israeli military source said soldiers at an outpost near an Israeli community just outside Gaza thwarted an attempted attack by shooting at two people crawling near the border fence Friday. Two Palestinian men dressed in fatigues were found dead near the site Saturday. A 54-pound bomb and grenades were lying nearby.
In a separate incident, a Palestinian teenager was shot dead in the Rafah refugee camp when soldiers opened fire at what they said was a suspicious person crawling toward an army outpost, a military source said.
