Israeli forces killed two Palestinian teenagers in the northern Gaza Strip.
The two youths were shot dead late Friday after soldiers stationed near northern Gaza spotted them crawling toward the border fence.
No weapons were found on the Palestinians, and they were not known to be affiliated with any terrorist group, but they were buried draped in Hamas flags.
On Sunday, a rocket fired by Palestinians in Gaza struck Kibbutz Zikim just over the border and killed seven cows in the livestock area.
