Hamas gunmen shot and killed a Palestinian motorist on Monday when he refused to stop at a roadblock they had set up in the southern Gaza Strip, witnesses said.
Hamas operatives said shots were fired first from the approaching car, and that they fired back.
The incident took place near the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis. The identity of the dead man was not immediately known.
