Gunmen kill three israeli soldiers { October 24 2003 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,1070128,00.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,1070128,00.html 9.45am update Gunmen kill three Israeli soldiers Agencies Friday October 24, 2003 Three Israeli soldiers were today killed and two others wounded in a shooting attack in the Gaza Strip. A spokesman for the Israeli military said two Palestinian gunmen entered the Israeli Netzarim settlement at 4am local time (3am BST) and opened fire on an army outpost. Two of the dead soldiers were women and the other a man. Resident Eliahu Zan, part of a settler security guard squad, said that a call came over his radio warning that an attacker was in the settlement. Residents turned off house lights and prepared weapons. "We heard the sound of the shooting very loudly. It pounded in our ears," he told Israel Radio. Troops shot and killed one of the Palestinians, who was armed with an automatic rifle, the spokesman said. The other escaped into heavy fog. The website of Hamas' military wing said the man killed in the attack was Samir Fouda, 21, a Palestinian from the Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza, Reuters reported. It said the attack was coordinated with the armed wing of Islamic Jihad. Last Monday the two groups issued a statement saying they would increase cooperation. The attack was the latest blow to the US-backed "road map" peace plan after Israel killed 11 Palestinians, including militants and civilians, in air raids on Monday and Palestinian gunmen killed three Israeli soldiers in an ambush on Sunday.
