Israel Launches Gaza Strikes as Soldier Dies from Gunshot

Israel has launched a wave of attacks on military targets in the Gaza Strip, after its soldiers came under gunfire at the border.
The Israeli military announced that one soldier had died from his wounds, the first in the most recent clashes.

Gaza officials said four Palestinians were killed in the strikes, three of them members of militant group Hamas.

A fourth Palestinian was shot dead during protests along the border, the health officials said.

The violence came during another Friday of protests by Palestinians at the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army said three projectiles were fired into Israel by Palestinian militants. Israel last week carried out its biggest attack against Hamas targets in Gaza since the war in 2014, in response to more than 200 rockets and mortars fired into the country.
