Report: Gunman killed by IDF fire in Gaza

Palestinian sources in Gaza reported that one man was killed and three other people injured in clashes with IDF soldiers near the town of Jabalya in northern Gaza.

The gunmen apparently belonged to the Popular Resistance Committees' Salah al-Din Brigades.

According to witnesses, an IDF force has been operating in the area since the morning hours. 

The IDF confirmed that soldiers have engaged in a gunfight with Palestinian gunmen. A spokesman for the army said that two gunmen had been bit and that none of the soldiers was wounded.

Earlier Tuesday, Palestinians fired three rockets from northern Gaza at southern Israel. Two rockets landed near the entrance to Sderot and the third hit an open field outside town.

No damage or injuries were reported in the attack.

The IDF continues to operate in Gaza, mainly along the border fence, to prevent terrorists from placing explosive devices or firing at soldiers or at communities in the Strip's area.
