olice say four other Sudanese men managed to get into Israel.

The Monday shooting is the latest in a series of similar cross-border

warning shots fired into the air and managed to cut through the barbed wire south of Rafah.

Chief physician Imad Kharboush at a North Sinai emergency unit said the
23-year-old wounded Sudanese, who has been identified as Abdullah Shukar
Abdullah, was undergoing surgery at El-Arish general hospital.
