Israel Defense Forces troops backed by aircraft and tanks clashed with militants in the southern Gaza Strip Sunday. The soldiers killed three gunmen and a civilian, Palestinian officials said. Four Palestinians killed in IDF Gaza raid Fifteen people, including several gunmen, were wounded in the fighting, which erupted at about 1 A.M. Sunday after undercover IDF troops took over several homes near the airport in southern Gaza. IDF tanks and bulldozers moved in to back the troops, and IAF aircraft struck twice, Hamas said. In one air strike, three gunmen were killed, including two from Hamas and one from a smaller militant faction, the Popular Resistance Committees, said Health Ministry official Dr. Moawiya Hassanain. A civilian was also killed in the clashes, Hassanain said. The IDF said the operation was aimed at militants who regularly fire rockets and mortars at southern Israel. It said one of the air strikes was aimed at militants approaching soldiers. The bulldozers were razing farmlands in an effort to deny rocket squads cover, and the army was carrying out arrest sweeps of men under 45, Hamas security and residents said. According to Hamas, at least 25 men were arrested. Meanwhile on Sunday, a Qassam rocket hit Sderot in southern Israel. One woman was treated for shock. Earlier Sunday, a militant from Gaza's ruling Hamas movement died of wounds sustained in an Israel Air Force strike last week.
