Exchange of fire along the Gaza border
An Israeli soldier and a Palestinian have been killed during an exchange of fire along the Gaza border, the BBC reports.
The Israeli army said that a Palestinian militant cut through the boundary fence and opened fire on Israeli troops, who then shot back killing him.
Separately, at least three suspected militants were hurt in an Israeli air strike on Gaza.
The suspects had fired a rocket into Israel, the army said.
