- Share via
Israeli helicopters fired into the Gaza Strip today, killing a Palestinian militant in what residents said was the fiercest exchange between Israeli forces and militants since a November truce.
The residents said the helicopters fired at least two missiles near the Jabaliya refugee camp.
An Israeli army spokesman said the helicopters fired at “suspicious movements” near the border fence. Islamic Jihad said militants had been mounting an operation near the fence.
A member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine was killed in the exchange, Islamic Jihad said.
