Israel strikes Gaza after gunfire wounds civilian near fence

-

An Israeli and three Palestinia­ns were wounded on Wednesday in the first exchange of fire in months on the Gaza frontier. The violence came as Israel announced measures aimed at improving living conditions in the occupied West Bank after a rare meeting of top officials.

Israel has announced a number of measures in recent months it says are aimed at easing tensions, but they have had little visible impact on the ground, where attacks by both Israeli settlers and Palestinia­ns are on the rise. There have been no peace talks in more than a decade.
