Israeli forces have killed at least nine Palestinian militants during operations in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli army spokesman said this morning.
Fighting reportedly took place in Khan Yunis and areas further north in the Strip where, Israel claims, heavy losses have been inflicted on Hamas.
The army clashed with the extremists who tried to enter northern Israel from Lebanon and killed four of them, it was announced today.
The conflict erupted during patrolling in the disputed area of Sheba Farm when Israeli soldiers spotted four people who opened fire on them.
In the exchange of fire, the Israel Defense Forces launched artillery and mortar attacks.
