Palestinian security sources say Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian woman in the southern Gaza Strip. The woman's death occurred when some armed Palestinian men attacked Israeli soldiers in the early hours of Friday at the border area between Egypt and Gaza. It is still unclear whether the Palestinian woman was one of the attackers or not. On Thursday, 9 young Palestinians and the bodies of two individuals were taken out from the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. This church is where armed Palestinian men have continued to take position while being besieged by Israeli forces. On the other hand, in Ramallah, a Palestinian military court sentenced four Palestinian fighters, who were found guilty of killing an Israeli cabinet minister last year, to prison.
