(Fox News) – A senior Hamas militant and an Israeli soldier were among those killed Sunday evening as a new round of fighting broke out in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military initially reported an “exchange of fire” had taken place during operational activity in Gaza and said that “all IDF soldiers back in Israel.” It later clarified that one soldier was killed in the exchange and a second was moderately injured. Hamas’ armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, claimed that Israeli undercover forces in a civilian vehicle infiltrated two
miles into Gaza and fatally shot one of its commanders, identified as Nour el-Deen Baraka. It said militants discovered the car and chased it down, prompting Israeli airstrikes that killed “a number of people.” The Palestinian Health Ministry said six people, including at least five militants, were killed and seven others wounded. In Israel, the military said it had intercepted two rockets fired from Gaza as air raid sirens continued to sound. READ MORE
