Israeli troops killed a Palestinian Friday along the border fence between Israel and the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, Israeli and Palestinian officials said. The military said troops spotted the man early Friday as he planted a bomb along the fence, a tactic used often by Gaza militants. Dr. Moaiya Hassanain of the Gaza Health Ministry confirmed that a man was killed by Israeli troops, and AP Television News footage showed medics searching the dry grass near the fence for the man's body before loading it onto a red stretcher. None of Gaza's militant factions immediately claimed the man as its member.
