Palestinians search for scrap metals to recycle for cash near the border with Israel, in northern Gaza Strip, Saturday, Dec. 26, 2009. On Saturday, an Israeli air strike killed three Palestinians in Gaza, near Israel's border barrier. Israel bans Palestinians from approaching the area, fearing militants will try stage attacks from there, but people search the area for raw materials - a lucrative trade in the Gaza Strip, as an Israeli and Egyptian blockade prevents raw materials from entering the Hamas-ruled territory.
