GAZA CITY--Four Palestinians, including two civilians, were martyred and 16 wounded in the latest "Israeli" incursion in the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, medics and the army said.
The operation saw Zionist tanks roll into the Palestinian territory and airstrikes carried out against targets near the southern town of Khan Younis, they said.
The victims included two Hamas militants, 24-year-old Mohammed Abu Musameh and Omar al-Qarrah, and two civilians, 40-year-old Ibrahim al-Shami and Qarrah`s mother, Sabha.
Palestinian medical officials said Shami, 40, was fatally shot by soldiers when he went out onto the roof of his house and that of a total of 16 people wounded, seven were civilians.
The attack marked the latest "Israeli" operation inside Gaza since Hamas routed security forces loyal to Palestinian Authority chief Mahmud Abbas from the coastal strip.
"Israeli" Army Radio said troops were rounding up all local males above the age of 16 and interrogating them for information on fighters.
The Zionist military said a rocket was fired from the northern Gaza Strip toward "Israel" during the morning but there was no immediate report of it hitting anything.
The army also was in action Tuesday in the West Bank, where troops rounded up 13 Palestinians overnight and took them for questioning, an army statement said. It did not give further details.
