del.icio.us Digg It!  new Last update - 21:44 22/11/2007 Near 20 mortar shells fired from Gaza over course of Thursday By Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondent and The Associated Press Tags: IDF, militants, Gaza Strip Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired near 20 mortar shells at Israel on Thursday, according to Army Radio. There were no injuries in any of the incidents. A shell fired Thursday evening struck an Israeli town north of the Gaza Strip. Three others launched later Thursday landed near the security fence in northern Gaza. IDF troops came under mortar fire earlier Thursday while rescuing two other soldiers lightly hurt in a road accident near Israel's border with the Gaza Strip. Advertisement The accident occured when two military vehicles collided near the security fence between Israel and northern Gaza. Palestinian militants fired two shells at the troops at the scene of the accident. A few of the militants then fled. Meanwhile, IDF troops shot and killed an unarmed Palestinian who approached the security fence separating Israel from the Gaza Strip, the military said Thursday. After dark on Wednesday, the Palestinian approached a no-man's zone along the fence where militants frequently try to carry out attacks, and threw something, the military said. Suspecting the man was a militant, soldiers opened fire and killed him, the army said. When the troops examined the body at daybreak, they realized that he was unarmed, the military said. Palestinian officials identified the dead man as 21-year-old Salem Abu Saada. Meanwhile Wednesday, two IDF soldiers were lightly wounded when two military vehicles collided near the security fence in northern Gaza. When rescue forces arrived at the scene to evacuate the wounded troops, Palestinian militants opened fire and hurled mortar shells toward the Israeli force. No one was hurt in the incident, and the Palestinians fled the scene.
