Israelis fire on UN aid convoy

Gaza City - Israeli troops fired on a United Nations convoy delivering humanitarian supplies to a Gaza Strip town that has been under Israeli siege for more than two weeks.

The top local UN official and an Associated Press photographer were among the people travelling in the convoy. No injuries were reported.

Witnesses said the convoy, which included 12 trucks carrying flour, rice, milk, canned goods and medical supplies, was fired on by tank-mounted machine guns shortly after entering the town of Beit Hanoun.
