GAZA CITY: A Palestinian was killed and 10 others were wounded on Wednesday by an Israeli strike 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.
Witnesses said the strike was aimed at a group of insurgents.
The Israeli military said soldiers opened fire at "a few suspects" who were seen approaching the border fence in northern Gaza but did not immediately give further details.
Gaza has been mostly quiet since the end of a devastating Israeli offensive in January 2009, though there are still occasional clashes between Palestinian insurgents and the Israeli military along the heavily guarded border.
