GAZA -Two Palestinian boys, aged 12 and 13, were shot dead on Friday by the Zionist regime`s troops firing into the Gaza Strip, medical sources said.
Ahmed Abu Zubeida, 12, and Zaher al-Majdalawi, 13, were in the area around the former Zionist settlement of Dugit, which was dismantled as part of "Israel's" withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, the sources said.
Suleiman Abu Zeibeida, a brother of one of the dead boys, said they had gone to the beach area to go swimming.
The "Israeli" army spokesman confirmed that soldiers shot at several Palestinians who were spotted crawling "in a suspicious manner`` toward the fence near the town of Beit Lahiya.
"We identified hitting three. One was `lightly` injured," the spokeswoman said.
Doctors at Barzilai hospital where the youth was taken said he was wounded by several gunshot wounds. They gave his age as 16.
On Friday, a 16-year-old Palestinian also died of wounds he sustained when an "Israeli" artillery shell hit his home on May 20th, according to Dr. Muawiya Hassanin of the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza.
