In one incident, Israeli troops shot and killed two Palestinians and arrested four others who opened fire on the troops as they searched for arms-smuggling tunnels near Gaza’s border with Egypt. In another incident, the Israeli army said one Palestinian was killed and another arrested after terrorists detonated a bomb beside an army tank in the border area.
