Israeli troops kill Islamist hard boy in Gazoo
JERUSALEM - Israeli troops killed an Islamist gunman and wounded four Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, a day after stepping up threats of a fullscale military operation to curb rocket attacks. Mahmud Al Haj, from radical group Islamic Jihad, was shot and fatally wounded in the central Gaza Strip, a medical official said.
Paradise isn't as fun as you'd heard, eh? | The hardline faction said Haj had been on a combat mission near the border with Israel.
An army spokesman confirmed that during routine activity against terror threats near the security fence between Israel and the Gaza Strip, troops idenitified, shot and hit a gunman.
