Gaza: The Israeli military killed three Hamas fighters on Friday in clashes in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical workers said.
Heavy clashes erupted before dawn east of the southern city of Rafah when Israeli troops entered an area known as Sufa in the Hamas-controlled territory.
An Israeli army spokesman said troops had been operating in the area since Thursday evening and clashed with militants.
He said a soldier had been moderately wounded by an anti-tank missile but had no information on Palestinian casualties.
Medical workers said soldiers arrested about 30 Palestinians during the raid.
