Fierce fighting in Gaza City's Shujaiya

Fierce fighting and clashes are being reported in Gaza City's Shujaiya neighbourhood.

Hamas's armed wing said its fighters ambushed and clashed with Israeli soldiers in the neighbourhood, claiming to have "killed or wounded" seven of them with "appropriate weapons".

The Israeli army said their soldiers found long-ranged rockets in the area and demolished tunnel shafts and booby traps.

The army claims to see "renewed attempts by the enemy to establish itself in the area".
