Israeli troops wound three in Gaza: medics
AFP - Saturday, November 29
GAZA CITY (AFP) - - Three Palestinians were wounded when Israeli troops backed by tanks mounted an incursion into the southern Gaza Strip on Friday, shelling suspected militants, medics and witnesses said.
"The three wounded were evacuated," said Muawiya Hassanein, who heads the emergency services in Gaza.
He said no one was killed in the operation. Witnesses earlier spoke of two deaths while the Israeli army said one Palestinian appeared to have been killed.
The Israeli army confirmed it conducted an operation along the border and said there was an exchange of fire with militants near the city of Khan Yunis.
"A unit conducting a routine patrol along the border fence" spotted armed men who were setting explosives by the fence, a military spokeswoman said.
A small militant group, the Popular Resistance Committees, said one of its fighters escaped an Israeli strike during the incursion.
A truce went into force on June 19 between Israel and the Islamist Hamas movement which controls Gaza but since November 4 there has been a spate of cross-border attacks.
