GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli troops killed a Palestinian during clashes in a Gaza Strip refugee camp on Thursday, local witnesses said.
An Israeli army spokeswoman confirmed troops were operating in the area but was checking the report of the death.
Residents of the Maghazi Camp in central Gaza said it was not immediately clear whether the man killed on Thursday was a militant. Troops killed 15 Palestinians during raids in the Gaza Strip and West Bank on Wednesday.
The fighting was part of an offensive aimed at recovering a captured soldier and halting rocket fire across the border. Israel has killed about 110 Palestinians, around half of them militants, during the operation.
Israel has also launched an offensive in Lebanon after Hizbollah guerrillas captured two soldiers and killed eight more in a cross-border raid on July 12. The war has killed around 300 people in Lebanon and a total of 29 in Israel.
