Israeli gunfire also injured another Palestinian, said the official.
An Israeli army spokeswoman earlier told AFP that soldiers had fired at two Palestinians. âTwo Palestinians were identified as they were crawling towards the security fence in the southern Gaza Strip. They were cutting part of the fence and apparently they were placing an explosive device on the ground,â she said. âThe forces opened fire at the two hitting them,â the Israeli army spokeswoman added.
