A member of the Israeli security forces shot dead a Palestinian on Tuesday in clashes in the border region between Israel and the Gaza Strip on the fourth day of a multi-week planned protest there, the official Palestinian Authority news site Wafa reported.The Palestinian was shot in the stomach in the border region near the al-Bureij refugee camp, the Wafa report said.In a Facebook post, Ashraf al-Qidra, a spokesman for the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza, identified the deceased Palestinian as 25-year-old Ahmad Arafeh. He did not say if Arafeh was involved in clashes.The IDF on Tuesday released a video that showed four Palestinians approaching Israel's border fence with Gaza and using some sort of a pole or bar to break a hole through it. Two of the Palestinians slipped through the rupture in the fence into Israel, stood for a moment and then went back.It is presumed that Palestinian reports that the IDF shot Arafeh is related to this incident.An IDF spokeswoman said the army could not immediately respond to a request for comment.Adam Rasgon contributed to this story.
