| An Israeli soldier was killed Tuesday morning near the Neveh Dekalim settlement in the Gaza Strip. The soldier was seriously injured after being shot in the head and died of his wounds later. Hamas claimed responsibility for the killing. Two Israeli cobra helicopters were dispatched in the direction of Khan Yunis to seek out the attackers. A 15-year-old Palestinian boy from Khan Yunis was also killed in the gunfight, Palestinian sources said. |
