Hamas Says Israeli Strikes Kill Six Gunmen -- Reuters
GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip killed five gunmen and a ground raid killed a militant on Tuesday, Palestinian medics said, in the first armed clash in Gaza since a cease-fire took hold there in June.
An Israeli army spokeswoman confirmed the air strikes, saying missiles were aimed at militants who had fired mortar bombs at Israeli forces operating in another part of the Gaza Strip. Another militant was seriously wounded.

All the dead were members of the Hamas Islamist group which controls the coastal enclave.
