Israel Tank fire Cost Gaza Woman

The clashes came after Israel said it had discovered a new tunnel reaching into Israel from Gaza.

Israeli tank fire has killed a Palestinian woman in the Gaza Strip, Palestinians say, in some of the worst clashes between Israeli forces and Hamas militants since 2014.

The woman was killed and another person was injured in the Khan Yunis area, southern Gaza, local media said.

Israel said it was responding to mortar rounds fired by Hamas fighters.

Israeli army spokesman Lt Col Peter Lerner said the tunnel was about 30 metres (100ft) below the surface.
