Israel soldier killed by Palestinian gunfire on Gaza border: army

An Israeli soldier was shot dead by Palestinian gunfire on the Gaza border Friday, the army said, raising fears of a new conflict with the strip's Islamist rulers Hamas. The soldier was shot by a "terrorist squad" along the border, the army said in a statement, with the military retaliating with air strikes. At least 149 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly shot during demonstrations and clashes along the border, but others in Israeli air strikes or by tank fire.
