GAZA - Israel Defense Forces troops killed a Palestinian civilian in the southern part of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip on Sunday, Palestinian medical workers said.
They said the 41-year-old man, Hussam a-Najah, was hit by an IDF tank shell outside his home near the town of Khan Yunis. The medical officials added that the shell had also wounded a-Najah's brother and wife.
An IDF spokeswoman said Israeli forces were operating in the area but she had no immediate details about the incident.
Also on Sunday, four Israelis were treated for shock when a barrage of three Qassam rockets struck the western Negev city of Sderot.
One of the rockets hit a cemetery in the city, causing damage to some headstones. The second rocket destroyed the roof of a shop in the city's commercial district and the third damaged a residential building.
