Palestinians carry the body of a Hamas gunman after he was killed by Israeli soldiers in a village near the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis November 12, 2008. Israeli soldiers shot dead four Hamas gunmen in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday during an incursion in the Palestinian territory, the Islamist group and Palestinian ambulance workers said. An Israeli army spokeswoman said soldiers entered the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip after opening fire at gunmen preparing to plant explosives along the border. Hamas said the men belonged to its armed wing. [Agencies]
