JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said it foiled an attempt by Gaza militants to infiltrate a kibbutz through a tunnel early Thursday...

three mortar shells fell in open ground on the Israeli side of the border, military officials said.
...
An Israeli military spokesman said it was not immediately clear if all the militants from the tunnel had been killed.
...

The Health Ministry in Gaza reported three Palestinian fatalities early Thursday, including a man killed in an airstrike on a house in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, another man, 67, who was killed in a strike while on his way to the mosque for the dawn prayer in Rafah in the south and a woman, 71, who died of injuries she sustained in an earlier strike in Khan Younis.
