Israeli soldiers shot dead three Palestinians near the Gaza border on Monday, Reuters reported. Along the Gaza frontier, Israeli troops fired at three Palestinians who the army said were spotted crawling near the border fence and ignored calls to halt. Palestinians later brought their bodies to a Gaza hospital. A Palestinian security official said an investigation showed the young men, Mohammad Odwan, Bassam Gharraba and Issa el-Amour, were unarmed and had intended to sneak into Israel to find work.
