Eleven Dead In Gaza Incursion
Eleven people were killed Tuesday in what Israeli military sources called a “targeted incursion” against the “terror infrastructure” in Gaza.

Palestinian hospital sources said at least 20 people were wounded. Hamas sources said one of the 11 dead was a suicide bomber who blew himself up near an Israeli tank.
