"Security officials say 35-year-old Hisham Ghosein was plowing his field with a bulldozer in his home village of Qantara, when the [ISRAELI] mine exploded and instantly killed him. The village is about 8 km (5 miles), away from the Israeli border. Thursday's powerful blast also wounded a Syrian worker who was helping Ghosein, while the bulldozer was completely destroyed, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.""
