IDF: Palestinian Had Crossed Barbed-Wire Barrier, Was Headed to Main Fence
(Times of Israel) An initial IDF investigation into the death of Palestinian Mohammed Ayoub found that he had crossed over an initial barbed wire barrier and was heading toward the main border fence when he was shot, Channel 10 reported Saturday. Earlier, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said, "The leaders of Hamas are the only culprits in the death of the boy, the cowardly leaders who hide behind children and women and send them forward as human shields so that they can continue digging attack tunnels and carrying out terror attacks against the State of Israel." Some 3,000 Palestinians rioted along the Gaza border with Israel on Friday. Soldiers responded with tear gas and live fire. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said four were killed and 445 injured, including 96 from live fire.
