Israeli military bulldozers cross into Gaza: witnesses |
2010-03-29 |
![]() The forces moved around 500 metres (yards) inside Gaza, dug large trenches and fired warning shots to keep farmers away, they said. There were no reports of anyone wounded or killed. The Israeli military would not immediately comment on the reports. Sunday's incursion in the southern Khan Yunis area was near to the site where Israeli tanks, bulldozers and jeeps backed by helicopters late Friday conducted an operation in which one Palestinian was killed and seven others were wounded and two houses damaged. That operation was launched after a firefight in which two Israeli soldiers were killed and two others wounded, one of them seriously. The weekend fighting was the heaviest since the 22-day Gaza war ended in January 2009. |
