Gaza: Palestinian boy ‘killed by “Israeli” gunfire’

World

A Palestinian boy has been killed by Israeli gunfire in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics say.

The boy, said to be about 12, was hit by rounds fired by an army helicopter, the sources said.

The AFP news agency quoted Hamas health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra as saying the boy, Yunes Abu Daqqa, “was killed by bullets fired from an “Israeli” helicopter during an incursion” in southern Gaza.

Soon after, a large tunnel blew up near the border fence, throwing a military vehicle 20m (65ft) into the air and injuring an “Israeli” soldier,

Hamas’ military wing, the Izz al-Din Qassam Brigades, said it caused the blast, in response to the killing of the boy.
