 Three Palestinian militants and a Thai worker have been killed in Gaza during an infiltration of a Jewish settlement. The militant Hamas movement has claimed responsibility for the attack. The three Hamas militants slipped into a greenhouse in the southern Gaza settlement of Kfar Darom and began opening fire. A worker from Thailand was hit in the back and leg, and later died of his wounds. Israeli soldiers stationed at the settlement then killed one of the militants, while another died when a bomb he was carrying exploded. The third Hamas gunmen tried to escape but was hunted down and killed. Meanwhile, Hamas says it is developing a longer range rocket to strike at Israeli towns. |
