IDF troops kill 2 Palestinian militants in northern Gaza clash

By The Associated Press

Israel Defense Forces troops killed two Palestinian militants and wounded several others in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, Palestinian sources said.

One of the fighters belonged to Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, and the other to the Popular Resistance Committees, officials from the groups said.

The two were killed by soldiers near the Gaza-Israel border fence, according to Dr. Muawiya Hassanin of the Palestinian Health Ministry.

"Forces are operating in the northern strip against terror infrastructure," an Israeli army spokesman confirmed in Tel Aviv.

"Troops identified two armed men and shot both of them, but cannot confirm they are dead. An anti-tank missile was also fired at the [Israeli] force," the spokesman said.

Hamas and the Popular Resistance Committees said their fighters confronted IDF troops in the Gaza town of Beit Lahia, an area used by militants as a launching ground for rocket attacks on southern Israel.

In a text message sent to reporters, Hamas said its men were clashing with troops in northern Gaza.

IDF troops regularly enter Gaza to combat Palestinian militants firing rockets at Israeli towns.
