| Ma'an -- Israeli forces shot two Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday afternoon, killing one of them. The shooting took place in the Al-Atatra area north of the town of Beit Lahiya. Mu'awiya Hassanein the head of Ambulance and Emergency Services in the Palestinian Health Ministry said that one critically injured man was taken in an ambulance to Kamal Udwan Hospital in northern Gaza. Ambulances were unable to immediately reach the other man who lay on the ground bleeding and eventually died. Hassanein identified him as Ata Al-Hasoumi, 20. Medics told Reuters that the man was a farmer. Israeli military sources told reporters that two "suspicious" people had approached the border with Israel and ignored warning shots. |
