 Six Palestinians have been shot dead by Israeli occupation soldiers during an incursion in a neighbourhood on the eastern outskirts of Gaza City, Aljazeera has learned. Medical sources said on Saturday that a Palestinian policeman and a civilian were among the dead. Twelve people were also reported injured in the attack. Earlier that day, Israeli occupation troops moved into the outskirts of Gaza City after resistance fighters fired mortar shells at a nearby Jewish settlement. About 10 armoured vehicles and two bulldozers were seen staging an incursion into the Zaitun neighbourhood of east Gaza City, commandeering two houses, witnesses and security sources said. The operation came after the armed wing of the resistance movement Hamas claimed it carried out a series of mortar attacks on settlements which damaged buildings but caused no casualties.
