| | One killed, 10 wounded in Israeli strike on Gaza: medicsZoom:  Aryanews- A Palestinian militant was killed and 10 people wounded on Wednesday by Israeli fire in the northern Gaza Strip, according to medics and witnesses. Dr Muawiya Hassanein, the head of Gaza emergency services, confirmed the toll and said three of the wounded were in serious condition. Two of the wounded were children, according to an AFP photographer at a nearby hospital. The Israeli military said soldiers opened fire at "a few suspects" who were seen approaching the border fence in northern Gaza but did not give further details. The Islamic Jihad militant group identified the dead man as Mohammed al-Kafarna, 22, and said he was one of their fighters. Gaza has been mostly quiet since the end of a devastating Israeli offensive in January 2009, though there are still occasional clashes between Palestinian militants and the Israeli military along the heavily guarded border.
