Two Persons Seriously Wounded Due to Misuse of Weapons 

At approximately 13:00 on Sunday, 19 March 2006, Mohammed Shaheen Khader, 43, a taxi driver working at Rafah International Crossing Point, was seriously wounded by a live bullet to the head.  A number of members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs of Fatah movement traveling in a civilian car (white Mercedes) opened fire, because a traveler whom they were waiting was late in arriving at the Palestinian side due to technical problems at the crossing point.

At approximately 13:30 also on Sunday, an explosion occurred inside a house belonging to ‘Emad Hassan Taha, 34, in Nusairat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.  Taha was seriously injured.  According to Palestinian security sources, the explosion resulted from a locally made bomb.
