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? |
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.
