A member of the Israeli security forces shot dead a Palestinian on Tuesday in clashes in the border region between Israel and the Gaza Strip on the fourth day of a multi-week planned protest there, the official Palestinian Authority news site Wafa reported.
The Palestinian was shot in the stomach in the border region near the al-Bureij refugee camp, the Wafa report said.
In a Facebook post, Ashraf al-Qidra, a spokesman for the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza, identified the deceased Palestinian as 25-year-old Ahmad Arafeh. He did not say if Arafeh was involved in clashes.
The IDF on Tuesday released a video that showed four Palestinians approaching Israel's border fence with Gaza and using some sort of a pole or bar to break a hole through it. Two of the Palestinians slipped through the rupture in the fence into Israel, stood for a moment and then went back.
It is presumed that Palestinian reports that the IDF shot Arafeh is related to this incident.
An IDF spokeswoman said the army could not immediately respond to a request for comment.
