IDF soldier blindfolding Palestinian detainee after operation in Gaza on Sunday. (AP) Last update - 18:38 07/01/2008 Female suicide bomber among three militants killed by IDF in territories By Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondent, and Reuters Tags: Islamic Jihad, Gaza Strip  Three Palestinian militants were killed Monday by Israel Defense Forces fire in two separate incidents in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Near the West Bank city of Jenin, an IDF reserves force that was manning a roadblock opened fire on a group of approaching militants, killing one of them. According to the army, troops opened fire when the gunmen had reached a distance of only several dozens meters from the roadblock, and that weapons and ammunition were found on the militant's body.

Islamic Jihad said both of the militants were its members, adding that one of them was a female suicide bomber who detonated herself near the border fence. Also Monday, a Qassam rocket hit the western Negev, landing in an open field in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council. There were no injuries or damage in the incident. On Sunday, five IDF soldiers were wounded, one of them moderately, and five Palestinians were killed, in a series of incidents in the Gaza Strip. The soldiers were hurt by anti-tank missiles fired by militants in two separate incidents during an operation in Bureij. IDF infantry and armored corps troops entered the camp early Sunday morning, penetrating some 1.5-2 kilometers into Palestinian territory. In the first incident, one soldier was moderately wounded and two others lightly hurt by shrapnel. A short while later, a second missile hit the troops, lightly wounding two soldiers. All five of the soldiers were evacuated by helicopter to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Monday that Israel would not allow considerations in the peace process to deter it from taking military action against Palestinian militants in the West Bank and Gaza. In the same vain, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told IDF commanders during a West Bank visit that Israel would press ahead with the fight against terrorism during the period of negotiations with the Palestinians.
