GAZA, Nov. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- Palestinian medics said Sunday that Israeli troops shot and wounded three Palestinian residents in the southern Gaza town of Rafah near the border with Egypt.

    Among the injured, a 14-year-old boy was critically wounded when he was sitting in his classroom at the al Barazil neighborhood near the borders.

    Meanwhile, Palestinian security sources said the Israeli army cut the Gaza Strip on Sunday morning into three isolated areas by closing the main roadblocks in central and southern Gaza.

    Residents said Israeli soldiers arrested three residents of al Qarara in central-southern Gaza and Israeli bulldozers razed wide areas of Palestinian-owned agricultural fields. Enditem
