Palestinians wounded in clash with Israeli forces along Gaza border

Gaza: A Gaza Health Ministry official said on Tuesday that two Palestinians have been wounded by Israeli gunfire in a clash along the Gaza-Israel border.

Dr. Moaiya Hassanain said it is not yet clear if the men are civilians or fighters.

Palestinian witnesses said they heard two explosions from the border area, after which Israeli helicopters hovered over the fence and fired at targets inside Gaza.

Israeli security officials said troops saw armed militants placing explosive devices along the fence.
