The Israeli army has claimed it killed more than 10 Hamas militants who entered Israel via cross-border tunnels.
Video released by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) showed what appeared to be Hamas gunmen exchanging fire before they were hit by an air-strike.
"Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel through two tunnels from north Gaza. IDF intercepted and killed more than 10 terrorists," Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner wrote on his official Twitter feed.

One of the tunnels came out just one kilometre (half a mile) from the southern Israeli town of Sderot, the IDF said.
Military radio claimed that the "second terrorist squad" tried to approach Niram kibbutz, close to Gaza's northeastern tip, where they engaged in gunfire with Israeli soldiers.
Several soldiers were hurt, the radio report said, without giving further details.
