Hamas: Israeli troops open fire, kill 1 Palestinian and wound 19
A truce between Israel and Hamas appeared to hold Friday despite reports that Israeli troops opened fire in a buffer zone with Gaza, killing at least one Palestinian and wounding 19, a Hamas health ministry spokesman said.
The shooting occurred east of Khan Younis, a border city in Gaza, when a group of protesters and farmers approached the 300-meter “no man’s land” — a security buffer between Israel and Gaza, according to Hamas security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Israel Defense Forces did not immediately confirm the casualty report, telling CNN it was looking into the report.
