IDF soldiers kill wanted Palestinian militant in Tul Karm

Tags: Palestinians, Israel, IDF 

A team of Israel Defense Forces killed Sunday a wanted Palestinian militant in the West Bank town of Tul Karm, both Palestinians and the army said. The troops wounded a second militant and took him to a hospital in Israel for treatment, the IDF said.

Also on Sunday, IDF troops killed five Palestinian militants in two separate incidents in the Gaza Strip.

On Sunday afternoon, three armed Palestinians were killed while approaching the Israel-Gaza border fence in the northern section of the coastal territory.

Earlier Sunday, IDF troops killed two Palestinian militants during a raid in the central Gaza Strip, local medical workers said.

IDF spokeswoman said troops had spotted two men, one armed and the other equipped with ammunition. The soldiers opened fire at the pair when they came close to the troops.

Local residents said the two men were killed while the IDF operated close to the Mghazi refugee camp in the central part of the Gaza Strip.

A spokesman for militants said one of the men was a member of the Islamic Jihad group and the other was aligned with the Popular Resistance Committees.

Israel has stepped up air strikes and military incursions since Islamist
Hamas seized control of Gaza in June. Gunmen often lay ambush for roving Israeli commandos in frontier areas.
