Palestinian teenagers slain
Thursday 02 September 2004

Three Palestinian youths have been killed and 36 others injured in a deadly Israeli raid on the Palestinian refugee camp of Dair al-Balah in the Gaza Strip.

Muhammad Abu Barka, 18, was shot in the chest by Israeli snipers on Thursday, Aljazeera.net correspondent Laila El-Haddad reports.

The snipers were nested in the Abu Uraif area near the illegal Israeli settlement of Kfar Darom Netzarim. Barka died of his wounds in the Shuhada al-Aqsa hospital, according to Palestinian medical sources.

Two others, Ahmad Abu Shawish, 19, and Muhammad Abu Musabih, 15, were fatally wounded when Israeli soldiers opened fire on a group of stone-throwing youths and died soon afterwards.

Earlier on Thursday, Muhammad Jamal Barakeh, 19, was reportedly killed in similar circumstances.
