Arab Rioters Killed Trying to Storm Gaza Border
- 9 years ago
Three Palestinians rioters were killed and 17 wounded during clashes Friday near Gaza's border, according to Gazan medical sources.
Ahmed al-Hirbawi, Shadi Dawla and Abed al-Wahidi, all aged 20, were killed when soldiers responded after youths threw rocks and other projectiles at them and attempted to break through the border.
An army spokeswoman said the incident was continuing, adding that about 200 Palestinians had approached the fence while hurling rocks and rolling burning tires toward security forces.
Stabbing attacks throughout Israel along with ongoing rioting by Muslims, have raised fears of a third Palestinian "intifada," or terrorist campaign, following a first that began in 1987 and a second in 2000.
