Palestinians threaten to kill kidnap victim.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A Palestinian militant group on Wednesday threatened to kill an abducted Jewish settler if Israel doesn’t stop its raid on the Gaza Strip.
The Popular Resistance Committees, which has claimed responsibility for abducting both the settler and an Israeli army corporal, said in a statement that “we are running out of patience.”
Israeli troops entered southern Gaza and planes attacked three bridges and a power station, knocking out electricity in most of the coastal strip early Wednesday and stepping up the pressure on Palestinian militants who abducted the 19-year-old Israeli soldier. Israeli authorities have not confirmed the settler’s abduction.
