The Israeli army has deployed tanks and called an airstrike on targets in Gaza after its troops were attacked by Palestinian snipers as they patrolled the Israeli side of the border.
It said it “immediately responded” to the Palestinian attack – on a routine patrol in the southern part of the region – on Wednesday.
According to reports, one Hamas militant was shot dead by Israeli forces in the original engagement.
Hamas sources named the dead man as Tayseer Asmairi, a member of its armed wing’s monitoring unit in the southern Gaza Strip, but the group did not immediately comment on the sniper fire.
