Israeli Soldier Killed on Gaza Border
-------------------------------------



In the Middle East, an Israeli soldier was killed earlier today in a
bomb attack near Gaza. Three others were wounded in the blast. It was
the first deadly attack on Israeli troops since Israel declared a
unilateral ceasefire ending its twenty-two-day assault on Gaza. Israel
responded by sending some Israeli troops back into Gaza as helicopters
hovered overhead firing machine guns. Israeli troops later killed a
Palestinian farmer.
