The killing of a clearly identified medical staffer by security forces during a demonstration is particularly reprehensible, said Jamie McGoldrick, the local U.N. humanitarian co-ordinator. Razan Najjar, a 21-year-old volunteer paramedic, was shot as she tried to help evacuate wounded near Israel's perimeter fence with Gaza.

Later Saturday, in a development that threatened to collapse an informal cease-fire, the Israeli military said two projectiles were fired from Gaza.
