GAZA, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Two Palestinians were killed and four
others injured by Israeli army fire in separate incidents in Gaza
Thursday, Palestinian sources said.
Tank-backed Israeli troops under heavy fire moved into
al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, killing a 22-year-old man
and wounding four others, the sources said.
Another Palestinian was killed early Thursday in an army
thrust into the Fados area in the town of Beit Lahia in the northern
Gaza Strip in an operation aimed at arresting wanted Palestinians.
The sources said that Alaa Hosanna was killed while driving
a pregnant woman to a hospital. They said Israeli soldiers shot
Hosanna in the neck and the woman was wounded.
Meanwhile, Israel radio reported troops fired near the man's
vehicle because he was speeding toward them and they feared a car
bombing attack.
The report said as a result of the gunfire the driver lost
control and the car flipped over, presumably resulting in the
deaths.
Also Thursday, Israeli sources said troops arrested 23
Palestinians in several parts of Gaza and the West Bank for
interrogation on suspicion of involvement in attacks against them.
