Power outages as 3 killed in Gaza

THREE Palestinians, including a teenager, were killed yesterday in the latest Israeli military operation in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics said.

Ziad Abu Raqba, 17, died after being shot in the chest during an incursion east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp in the centre of the territory, they said, adding that he was not a member of a militant group.

Four other people were wounded during the operation that involved Israeli jeeps, armoured vehicles and bulldozers backed by helicopters, they said.
