Israeli forces killed three Palestinian infiltrators in the Gaza Strip. A military source said forces opened fire on three figures spotted crawling toward the highway linking the Netzarim settlement with the Karni crossing into Israel on Sunday night. The road is off-limits to the Palestinians and the three men were presumed to be on a mission to lay an ambush for Israeli convoys. Their bodies were recovered by Palestinian medics on Monday. There was no immediate claim of responsibility by any Palestinian group.
