Gaza man shot by Israeli dies
A Palestinian shot by Israeli troops in the southern Gaza Strip on Friday has died of his wounds, a Palestinian medical official said.
The official said that Mahmud Jarghun, 21, died early on Saturday morning at a hospital near the town of Rafah, of a gunshot wound to the pelvis.
Palestinians said he was one of several men injured by Israeli fire in farmland close to the Israeli border fence, east of Rafah.
The Israeli army said troops opened fire at a group of men attempting to breach the fence, after they ignored warnings.
"When they didn't stop, shots were fired at their legs," a spokeswoman said.
