Israeli tanks wound 2 Palestinians in Gaza----Medics

By -
Two Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were wounded Sunday by Israeli tank fire, medical sources said, less than a week after cross-border violence peaked with deaths on both sides.
Ashraf al-Qudra, a spokesman for the emergency services in the Islamist Hamas-run enclave, told AFP two men were in "moderate condition" after being hit by tank fire "in an open area" east of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.
A spokesman for the Israeli army told AFP they were not familiar with such an incident.
Exchanges of fire between the sides peaked last Tuesday when a sniper inside Gaza killed an Israeli fixing the border fence.
Israel retaliated against "terror sites" in Gaza with warplanes and tanks, killing a toddler and wounding at least six people.
Two rockets from the Palestinian enclave hit Israel on Thursday, causing no damage. Israeli warplanes that night wounded two Gazans in sorties targeting military installations.
After Tuesday's attack, Israel closed the Kerem Shalom goods crossing, with Palestinians saying the move led to a fuel shortage that caused Gaza's sole power plant to shut down by Friday.
An Israeli official rejected the claim, instead blaming a conflict between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
The power plant resumed operations on Sunday after Israel again allowed fuel into the enclave.
