GAZA/TEL AVIV, May 23 (RIA Novosti) - At least five Palestinians were killed and an Israeli soldier and Palestinian militant wounded in raids on the Gaza Strip on Friday.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) shot dead two militants of the Islamic Jihad movement near a security fence in central Gaza, a Palestinian health official said. Another suspected militant was seriously injured in an Israeli airstrike.

Three members of the radical Islamic group Hamas, which has controlled the Gaza Strip since last June, were killed in an IDF ground operation in southeast Gaza.

An Israeli soldier was injured when his vehicle was hit by an anti-tank missile during the operation, the Ynet news portal reported. He was taken to hospital by helicopter.
