Israeli Soldiers Kill 3 People in Gaza
--------------------------------------

Israeli soldiers killed at least three Palestinians in the Gaza Strip
Saturday night, according to local officials. Al Jazeera reported that
the men were believed to be militants but had acted independently,
according to a Hamas source. Earlier on Saturday, Israel launched air
raids on parts of the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said
Sunday he was prepared to call a wide-scale military operation in Gaza.
