Palestinian militants attacked Israeli troops with two remote-controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) on Sunday north of the Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanun, witnesses told AFP.
The army retaliated with tank fire without causing casualties, they said.
Two groups -- the Al-Quds Brigades armed wing of the radical Islamic Jihad militant group and the Palestine Liberation Front -- claimed to have carried out the attack in statements released in Gaza.
And in a surprise move Fatah and Hamas have agreed to create a joint security force in Gaza. The final round of Egyptian hosted reconciliation talks will take place in early July.
Egypt set to open border?
Egypt is thought to have promised Fatah and Hamas that if they can reconcile their differences in the name of national unity then they will open the border on a permanent basis. Such a move would be a major defeat for Israel, furthering undermining its strategic position position following its failed effort to wipe out the Hamas-led resistance in Gaza.
