Israel soldier dies in Gaza clash

<snip>

"The Israeli army have confirmed that a soldier was killed in a Gaza clash.

The clash took place near the Kissufim crossing with Israel in central Gaza during an Israeli military incursion.

A joint statement by Hamas' military wing and the Popular Resistance Committees said the ambush occurred just 500m inside Gaza.

The militant groups say that they have captured the dead soldier's weapon.

Israeli forces have carried out many incursions and air strikes on Gaza since the capture in late June of Israeli Cpl Gilad Shalit in a cross border raid by Palestinian militants."
