Israel Defense Forces troops killed a Hamas militant during a military operation in the southern Gaza Strip early Wednesday, Hamas sources said.

The IDF confirmed that infantry and special forces had entered the southern Gaza Strip overnight Wednesday, conducting an arrest operation in the area between Khan Yunis and the Sufa Checkpoint.

The army said militants opened fire on the troops, who returned fire, killing one of the militants. Some 20 militants were detained and taken to Israel for questioning.

Residents reported that IDF tanks crossed into the territory after the clash.

On Tuesday, at least 20 Qassam and mortars were fired at Sderot and the western Negev from the Gaza Strip.
