GAZA, Aug 27: Israeli forces killed three Palestinians overnight in Gaza and wounded 17 others, including two journalists in an air strike on a Reuters vehicle that the army said it failed to identify.

The Israeli army said on Sunday its incursion into the Shijaiya neighbourhood was aimed at seeking out ‘tunnels and explosives’ that could be used in attacks.

Meanwhile, guerillas in Gaza Strip freed two kidnapped journalists from the American Fox News Channel on Sunday.
