Israelis kill five as Sharon rejects opposition
In a rare episode of its kind, two Hamas militants breached the new security fence along Gaza’s border with Israel and moved in on a kibbutz, or collective farm, for an attack when they were spotted and shot dead by troops, military sources said.
Two other militants were killed while trying to plant a bomb near a Jewish settlement in an occupied part of southern Gaza, the Islamic Jihad group said. Another militant was killed, and a soldier hurt, near another settlement, a military source said.
