Report: IDF kills woman in Gaza
Palestinians say tank shell hit home in Al-Bureij. IDF: troops fired at figures approaching border fence
The IDF killed a woman and wounded two of her relatives in the Al-Bureij refugee camp in Gaza on Tuesday, Palestinian medics said.
The sources said the woman was killed when the shell hit her house.
The IDF Spokesperson's Office confirmed that soldiers had opened fire on suspicious figures seen approaching the border fence, and that a hit had been identified.
The army added that terror agents were at work in the area, laying explosive devices and conducting hostile activity.
Earlier Palestinian sources said an IDF force had opened fire on a cell of gunmen firing mortar shells at Israel from an area adjacent to the camp.
The sources say the gunmen belong to the Salafi movement, identified with al-Qaeda.
Two weeks ago the Air Force carried out a strike in Gaza that killed a gunman firing an anti-tank missile. The man was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Three others were injured.
