TULKAREM, West Bank, (AFP) - Israeli troops killed three Palestinians on Sunday, one of them in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank and two in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, officials on both sides said. In the northern West Bank town of Tulkarem, Israeli troops shot dead Mohammad Qozah, 25, of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a group loosely linked with president Mahmud Abbas’s Fatah party, medics and Palestinian security sources said. In the Gaza Strip, two Palestinians - one from Islamic Jihad and another from the Popular Resistance Committees - were killed early on Sunday. The army claimed an Israeli patrol saw the men approaching the border fence that separates the impoverished territory from Israel and killed them in a subsequent exchange of fire. Palestinian medics and witnesses said the two men were killed in an exchange of fire after shooting on an Israeli patrol that had entered the central Gaza Strip. Later in the day eight people were wounded in the north of the Gaza Strip by Israeli artillery fire, medics said."
