Israel kills two Palestinians, wounds dozens in Gaza

Israeli troops killed two Palestinians and wounded at least 11 others as they sought to enter the north of Gaza, the Associated Press is reporting. 

An Associated Press journalist saw the two bodies and the wounded as they arrived at a hospital in the town of Deir al-Balah in the southern half of Gaza. The injured had been shot in the legs.

Friday’s shooting came hours after the Israeli military warned the hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians who have sought refuge in southern Gaza not to attempt to return to their homes in the northern half of the territory, which is the focus of Israel’s ground offensive.
