Gaza: Israeli troops killed four Hamas gunmen on Wednesday in clashes in the Gaza Strip near a terminal used to supply fuel to the territory, medical workers said.
Hamas said soldiers, backed by helicopters, killed four Hamas militants during fighting near the Nahal Oz border terminal.
An Israeli army spokeswoman confirmed the incident.
Israel stopped fuel deliveries to the Gaza Strip last week after an attack on the fuel terminal killed two Israeli civilians.
Israel's defence ministry said it would renew fuel deliveries on Wednesday.
