Isrealis shot in Gaza Strip

Two Israelis were wounded in a Palestinian shooting attack in the Gaza Strip tonight, settlers and rescue services said.

A Palestinian gunman was killed, settlers said.

The attack took place on a road near the Kissufim crossing point between Gaza and Israel, a route used by Israeli settlers to reach their homes in a bloc of Jewish settlements in southern Gaza.

The settlers’ spokesman said the two victims were women, and they were not seriously wounded.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
