Gaza City (AFP) Aug 28, 2006
Four armed Palestinians from the ruling Islamist Hamas movement were killed early Monday in the Gaza Strip when an Israeli drone fired a missile at them, a Palestinian security official said. The four members of a special forces unit of the Palestinian interior ministry, controlled by Hamas, were out on the street in Gaza City's eastern Shejaya neighborhood when the attack took place, the official said.

Separately, 20-year-old Palestinian, Wassim al-Masri, was killed early Monday when he refused to stop at a roadblock near the southern town of Khan Yunis and Hamas security forces opened fire on him.

On Sunday, three Palestinians, including two Hamas members, were killed by Israeli forces near the Karni border crossing in the Gaza Strip.

Since June 28, when Israel launched a massive offensive in Gaza to recover a captured soldier and stop rocket attacks, at least 191 Palestinians have been killed.

The latest deaths brought to 5,352 the number of people killed since the start of the Palestinian uprising in September 2000, most of them Palestinians, according to an AFP count.
