Israeli troops invade southern Gaza

Israeli troops in southern Gaza - Yahoo! News: "Early Thursday, troops and vehicles crossed into Gaza in what the army called a routine operation against militants that involved shootouts and an airstrike.

The sides provided conflicting reports of the deadly gunbattle in the southern town of Khan Younis.

The army said troops inside Gaza opened fire at a group of militants who approached them, sparking an exchange of fire. Gaza's Hamas rulers said militants were targeted either by an Israeli tank shell or missile fire from the air. And Dr. Muawiya Hassanin of the Palestinian Health Ministry reported shrapnel wounds consistent with heavy artillery fire.

Ten militants were among the wounded, Hamas said."
