GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - The Islamic Hamas movement says one
of its members has been wounded in an Israeli airstrike in the
southern Gaza Strip.
The airstrike comes hours after a roadside bomb along Israel's
border with Gaza killed an Israeli soldier and wounded three
others.
Tuesday's violence is the worst since the sides declared a
cease-fire last week.
Hamas says the militant was struck as he was riding a motorcycle
in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis. Residents say Israeli
tanks and bulldozers have also entered the area where the roadside
bombing took place and are leveling some farmland.
