Palestinian security officials say Israeli troops are clashing with militants inside the southern Gaza Strip.

Security officials with Gaza’s Hamas—run Interior Ministry say Israeli soldiers are firing artillery and tank rounds.

Casualties were reported, but the officials say ambulances can’t reach the scene because of the shooting.

The Israeli military provided no information on the clashes.

Earlier on Friday, militants fired a rocket at southern Israel. No injuries or damage was reported from the rocket fire.
