GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli troops in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday, medical sources and witnesses said.
Witnesses said Fadil Muhammad Halawah, 32, was hunting birds east of Jabaliya when Israeli soldiers shot him dead.
Ashraf al-Qidra, spokesman for the Palestinian health ministry, said Halawah arrived at Kamal Udwan hospital in Jabaliya with a gunshot wound.
Doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
An Israeli military spokesman told Ma'an that two Palestinians approached the separation barrier in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday.
Soldiers called on the two to stop and fired warning shots in the air, the spokesman said.
When the two Palestinians "refused to comply," soldiers "fired at the lower extremities, confirming one hit."
The spokesman could not provide any further information. more
