GAZA, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Israeli troops killed one Palestinian man in the central Gaza Strip, Gaza medical officials and the army said on Thursday.

An Israeli army spokesman said the man approached the border fence between Israel and the Hamas-controlled territory during the night, and threw an unidentified object at it. The troops fired at the man and identified hitting him, the spokesman said.

Gaza medical staff said the man was a resident of Gaza City and was unarmed when they collected his body.
