March 29, 2008BEIT HANUN, (PIC)-- IOF soldiers last night killed a Palestinian teenager for coming close to the security fence between northern Gaza Strip and Palestinian lands occupied in 1948.
Medical sources said on Saturday that the unidentified Palestinian youth was barely 18 and was hit with IOF bullets near the "border fence" north of Beit Hanun.
They told PIC correspondent that IOF informed the Palestinian medical teams that a Palestinian was killed near the fence but would not allow ambulances to collect his body Friday night citing alleged security reasons.
IOF sources said that soldiers spotted an "armed" man while approaching the security fence and fired at him. They claimed that the Palestinian tossed a grenade at the soldiers before being killed, and said that no casualties were suffered in lines of the soldiers.
Meanwhile, in southern Gaza, 27-year-old Rami Qudaih was wounded on Saturday morning when IOF tanks fired their machineguns at Palestinian agricultural lands and houses east of Khuzaa, in Khan Younis district.
Medical sources told PIC that Qudaih was hit in his right leg, describing his condition as "moderate".
The Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad Movement, said that its fighters fired a locally made Quds missile at the Migen settlement east of Khan Younis on Saturday morning.
In the West Bank town of Qabatia, Jenin district, the same armed wing said that its fighters engaged invading IOF troops that infiltrated into the town early Saturday in search of Jihad activists.
