2 Killed in Clashes With Israelis, Medics Say
Israeli soldiers shot and killed two Palestinian boys in confrontations with stone-throwing protesters in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics said.
Medics said troops shot Ehab Shattat, 9, and Ishaq Abu Taleb, 15, in separate incidents in Beit Hanoun, where Israeli forces have been rounding up militants since Monday.
Military sources said soldiers fired warning shots when protesters threw concrete and stones. The Israeli army said it was checking the report of Ehab’s death and had no immediate comment on Ishaq’s.
