BBC News reports:

Israeli troops have killed six Palestinians – three in the Gaza Strip and three in the West Bank.
The Israeli military said three Palestinians suspected of trying to infiltrate from Gaza were killed in an air strike near the Erez crossing.
Separately, Israeli forces said they killed three men in the West Bank city of Nablus who are suspected of shooting dead a Jewish settler two days ago.

Oh, and the BBC reports that there was an anniversary, too.

The UN agency which looks after Palestinian refugees commemorates its 60th anniversary this month. But there’s no celebration.
Prospects for an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement look dim and the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is keenly aware that its “temporary” mandate could continue for years, even decades.

Imagine that! A Palestinian refugee born that year would be close to retirement and still a refugee.
