An Israeli tank shell killed an Islamic Jihad militant in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources and the militant group said. Health ministry spokesman Adham Abu Selmiya identified the victim as Jihad Afana and said he had been killed by a tank shell in an area just east of the town of Jabaliya. Islamic Jihad's armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigade, also confirmed in a statement that Afana had been killed by a tank shell "as he was on a mission in the northern Gaza Strip".
Elsewhere, a Palestinian man who was scavenging for building materials near the northern Erez border crossing into Israel, was shot and wounded by Israeli gunfire.
