- Story Text: A Palestinian gunman is shot and killed by Israeli troops in Gaza.
Israeli troops killed a Palestinian gunman during a clash in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday (October 31), hospital officials and the army said.
Palestinian hospital officials identified the 23-year-old fighter, who was killed in central Gaza near the border fence with Israel, as a member of the Islamic Jihad militant group.
An Israeli military spokesman said troops operating close to al-Bureij village in central Gaza spotted a gunman and shot him.
Israeli forces regularly carry out raids into Gaza to try to prevent Islamic Jihad and other factions from launching short-range rockets across the border into the Jewish state or firing mortar bombs at border crossings. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
