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 near the border area between Egypt and Gaza. It is still unclear whether the Palestinian woman was one of the attackers or not. On Thursday, nine young Palestinians and the bodies of two individuals were removed from the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. This is the church where armed Palestinian men have taken position while being besieged by Israeli forces. Meanwhile, in Ramallah, a Palestinian military court sentenced four Palestinian fighters, found guilty of killing an Israeli cabinet minister last year, to prison.
