GAZA: Israeli soldiers shot dead four Hamas gunmen in the Gaza Strip Wednesday during an incursion in the Palestinian territory, the Islamist group and Palestinian ambulance workers said.

Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha said: "This (Israeli) escalation is dangerous and we will not stand still. There will be a painful response against the Zionist enemy."
