Last update - 14:37 28/05/2008 IDF soldier lightly hurt in Gaza; mortar shell hits Negev home By Haaretz Service Tags: IDF, West Bank, Gaza  An Israel Defense Forces soldier was lightly hurt on Wednesday during an operation in the Gaza Strip. Also Wednesday, militants in Gaza fired a barrage of mortar shells at southern Israel. An earlier round prompted Israel Air Force strike on Gaza, in which two Hamas militants were killed. A mortar shell fired in the early afternoon on Wednesday struck directly into a western Negev home. Advertisement An Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman said the two aerial attacks which killed Hamas militants on Wednesday targeted "terror threats" in the Hamas-controlled territory. The jets attacked a launching site in the northern Strip, just after militants fired a barrage of mortar shells at southern Israel. The air strike also wounded four militants who were firing mortars at Israeli forces, Hamas said. An earlier Israeli hit wounded four militants from Islamic Jihad, a smaller militant group. Egypt has been trying to broker a truce that would end militants' rocket attacks on Israel and Israeli raids in the Gaza Strip. Also on Wednesday, an Israel Defense Forces soldier was lightly wounded during a military operation in the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces often operate in the Gaza Strip in effort to halt rocket and mortar shell fire. IDF troops also arrested 12 wanted Palestinian militants in overnight raids in the West Bank on Tuesday.
