The sources said that the Israeli army detained two Palestinians, the army says tried to infiltrated into Israel through a border barbed-wire.

Israeli bulldozers, accompanying the tanks, razed Palestinain-owned farm lands in the area, as the Palestinian resistance fighters attempted to force the tanks back by firing hand grenades and live ammunition, media sources said.

In the meantime, the Saraya aL-Quds brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad group, claimed in a statement, faxed to press today, that its fighters managed to detonate an Israeli armored vehicle to the east of Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, since the early hours of morning, Israeli drones have been hovering over the central Gaza Strip. Such drones have targeted Palestinian fighters over the past few years.
