GAZA - "Israeli" forces killed a Palestinian on Wednesday near the "Israeli"-built border fence on the Gaza frontier, hospital officials said.
An "Israeli" army spokeswoman said troops fired at three Palestinians crawling toward the fence after they failed to heed calls to stop.
"One was hit and the other two were taken away for questioning," the spokeswoman said. The incident took place near the Kissufim crossing.
Palestinian ambulance workers said they recovered a body at the scene. Hospital officials said the 17-year-old male killed did not belong to a militant group.
"Israel" and several Palestinian militant groups declared a Gaza ceasefire in November, a truce that ended an "Israeli" military offensive in the territory.
Some factions have kept up sporadic cross-border rocket attacks from Gaza despite the truce, saying they will continue to strike until "Israel" halts raids against militants in the occupied West Bank, where a ceasefire is not in place.
