Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian in the Gaza Strip overnight after firing in the direction of an explosion near the border, the army and medics said on Saturday.
Majed al-Nabahin, 35, was killed near the al-Bureij refugee camp, hospital sources said.
An army spokeswoman said soldiers were carrying out a routine operation near the border when the explosion struck and that troops aboard a tank had fired their machinegun in that direction.
