GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza’s Health Ministry says Israeli forces have killed three Palestinian men along the Gaza-Israel border.

Ministry spokesman Adham Abu Salmiya says the bodies of the three have been picked up by medical teams. He says they were wearing civilian clothes and that the shooting happened before dawn Thursday.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment.

The military maintains a no-go zone inside Gaza along the border, where militants have planted bombs targeting Israeli forces in the past.

Gaza is controlled by the Islamic militant group Hamas. Bloodshed in the territory has decreased since Israel’s military offensive in the territory just over two years ago, but rocket fire and border clashes have continued.
