GAZA, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed a Palestinian on the Israel-Gaza border on Monday, Palestinian medical workers said, and militants in the Gaza Strip fired two mortar bombs at southern Israel. The medical workers identified the dead man as a farmer and said the Israeli army told them to come to the frontier -- an area Israel has declared off-limits to Palestinians and where militants have planted bombs in the past -- to pick up his body. A second Palestinian was wounded in the incident, the medical workers said, also identifying him as a farmer. The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the shooting, but said two mortar bombs were fired from the northern Gaza Strip and struck Israel. Israeli media reports said a soldier was slightly wounded. The border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, a coastal enclave ruled by the Islamist Hamas movement, has been largely quiet over the past several weeks.
