GAZA CITY, Feb 8: Israeli army tanks and bulldozers carried out incursions into two areas of the Gaza Strip on Saturday and Friday night, Palestinian security sources said.

They said four tanks advanced several hundred metres into the Sheikh Ajlein district, south of Gaza City, and closed off a road while soldiers searched cars.
