IDF soldiers kill Palestinian near security fence along Gaza Strip
By The Associated Press and Haaretz Service

Israel Defense Forces troops on Friday shot and killed a Palestinian man who approached the security fence along the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials said.

The IDF confirmed that soldiers shot at two Palestinians behaving suspiciously near the fence in central Gaza, saying they were believed to be planting an explosive device. The army said one of the two were hit, but didn't know if he was killed.

Palestinian medical and security officials confirmed the 30-year-old man was killed. They said it was not clear what he was doing near the fence.

Meanwhile Friday, a Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit the western Negev, causing no damage or injuries.
