Israeli Troops Kill Three Palestinians In Gaza

Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip shot dead two members of Hamas who were trying to plant explosives and a Palestinian man tending to his songbirds in his backyard on Monday, witnesses said.
They stomped his baby ducks, too...
Troops killed the two Hamas members as they approached a security fence separating the coastal strip from Israel. Israeli military sources said the men had been spotted in a prohibited area in northern Gaza and troops later found the bodies of two men carrying grenades and a bomb. The military wing of Hamas issued a statement saying the militants had peacefully attempted to plant explosives at the fence to detonate against tanks passing through the area. Witnesses and relatives said Hassan Shalloula, 22, was shot dead by Israeli soldiers when he went outside to check on the songbirds he kept in cages near his home adjacent to an army checkpoint in the central Gaza Strip.
I'm not sure what Hassan has to do with the attempted boomers. Was it his fence?
In the West Bank city of Jenin on Monday, Palestinian witnesses said undercover Israeli soldiers grabbed a top militant affiliated with the armed wing of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction while he was in a record shop. The soldiers, dressed as Palestinians, first asked the shop keeper for a cassette of popular Egyptian music, then pulled out guns and dragged Mohammed el-Masri, leader of the city's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, into their car and drove off, witnesses said. The army had no immediate comment on the incident.
"Avner, did you do that?"
"Nope. Wudn't me."
"Moshe?"
"I ain't got him..."
