'Israeli shell' kills Gaza fighter
Israel launched air raids on Monday on a police station in Khan Yunis [AFP]
A member of Islamic Jihad has been killed after an Israeli tank shell hit the northern Gaza Strip, the Palestinian armed group has said.
The man, who was killed on Monday near the town of Beit Hanoun, was part of a mission planned to attack Israeli troops along the border, a spokesman from the group said.
Hamas officials confirmed that he was killed by an Israeli tank shell fired from across the border.
Israel's military has said it was unaware of the incident.
Earlier, Israel launched an air raid on a security compound in southern Gaza. There were no confirmed reports of casualties in the raid.
The security compound in Khan Yunis was attacked three times during Israel's war on Gaza last month.
More than 1,300 Palestinians died, at least of a third of that number women and children, during the 22-day assault on the coastal territory.
At least 13 Israelis, including three civilians, were killed over the course of the war, which Israel said was aimed at preventing rocket fire from Gaza into Israel.
