Israeli forces kill three Palestinian police

Israeli soldiers killed three Palestinian policemen in Gaza early today and attacked a Palestinian refugee camp, wounding 30 people, after 13 Israelis were hurt in Palestinian attacks, despite efforts by the US and European Union to promote a Middle East peace plan.

Palestinian rescue workers said Israeli soldiers opened fire on a Palestinian police post near the Jewish settlement of Netzarim in central Gaza, killing three and wounding two. The Palestinians said the gunfire was unprovoked.
