A True Marksman

Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 10-year-old boy and a Palestinian militant in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.

A Hamas official said the boy was killed by Israeli troops operating near the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis. An Israeli army spokeswoman said Israeli troops clashed with militants in the area, but said the army was unaware of a child being hit.
 

The Palestinian Version
