Israeli forces kill Gazan man
Israeli forces shot two Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday afternoon, killing one of them.

The shooting took place in the Al-Atatra area north of the town of Beit Lahiya.

Mu’awiya Hassanein the head of Ambulance and Emergency Services in the Palestinian Health Ministry said that one critically injured man was taken in an ambulance to Kamal Udwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

Ambulances were unable to immediately reach the other man who lay on the ground bleeding and eventually died. Hassanein identified him as Ata Al-Hasoumi, 20. Medics told Reuters that the man was a farmer.

Israeli military sources told reporters that two “suspicious” people had approached the border with Israel and ignored warning shots.

Meanwhile, Israeli sources said that two projectiles were fired from the northern Gaza Strip into Israel. According to the news website Ynet, the projectiles landed near the Ashkelon Beach Regional Council. The same report states that one soldier was mildly wounded after sustaining a head injury while running for cover.

It is unclear whether the projectiles were homemade “Al-Qassam” rockets, or mortar shells. No Palestinian group has claimed responsibility for the reported attack, which was the first in two weeks.

Is the above report the reason Israel opens two Gaza crossings
the real reason making it easier for IDF soldiers to enter the Strip?
Israel decided to open two border crossings to allow food and fuel into the besieged Gaza Strip.

Palestinian crossings official Raed Fattouh said that the Kerem Shalom crossing will be open for 81 to 91 trucks carrying goods including food. The Nahal Oz terminal will also be open for fuel, including cooking gas, he said.

Karni crossing, formerly the main portal for deliveries of goods, will be closed, Fattouh said.
