Israeli gunfire kills Gaza teen

Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian teenager in the Gaza Strip on Saturday as he approached the border fence with Israel, Palestinian medics said. The 17-year-old boy's body was found near El-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, they said. An Israeli army spokesman said earlier that soldiers had opened fire and hit a suspect near the border. On Friday, two young Gazans were wounded as Israeli troops opened fire at a protest near the border fence. On the West Bank, meanwhile, masked gunmen shot dead a Palestinian suspected of "collaborating" with Israel, Palestinian security sources and residents of the Beit Dajan village near Nablus said. The man had been recently released from jail in the Israeli-occupied West Bank after serving time on charge of having provided Israel with information. The Israeli army and the Shin Bet internal security services often rely on Palestinian informants to obtain information about wanted militants.
