A Palestinian medical official says Israeli troops have killed a Hamas militant on the Gaza-Israel border.
Dr. Moaiya Hassanain of the Gaza Health Ministry says an Israeli tank killed the militant near Gaza City. Hamas confirms the man was a member of the group and says two of his comrades were wounded.
The Israeli military says the gunman was planting a bomb along the border late Saturday when troops spotted him and opened fire.
Israel's military regularly clashes with Gaza militants who fire rockets at Israeli towns and attack Israeli positions and patrols along the border.
