4 Palestinian die in clashes with Israel

Mahmoud Ibrahim Karnawi, 11, was shot after Israeli troops moved into Saida village in the northern West Bank, witnesses said. They said the troops were trying to arrest his older half brother, a wanted Islamic Jihad militant. A gunfight erupted as they approached the family's home.

Neighbors said the boy was inside and hit in the crossfire. Hospital officials said an Islamic Jihad militant not related to the boy also was killed.

A member of the Israeli paramilitary border police was lightly wounded and treated at the scene, the army said.

In Gaza, meanwhile, the army said it killed two Palestinian militants who fired at soldiers on the Israeli side of the border. The troops entered Gaza and shot the gunmen after a brief chase, the army said.

Palestinian medical officials said they were aware of the shootings, but could not immediately send ambulances to retrieve the bodies.
