Israeli forces killed three Palestinian gunmen during a Gaza Strip incursion.
Troops and tanks pushed into southern Khan Younis early Thursday, killing three local gunmen in clashes. Two of them were members of Islamic Jihad, while the third belonged to Hamas. At least six other Palestinians were wounded.
There were no reports of Israeli casualties.
In the West Bank, Israeli security forces arrested two senior Islamic Jihad fugitives, one from Jenin and the other from Nablus.
