"Palestinians armed with rifles and grenades attacked Israeli soldiers doing construction work near the Gaza border with Egypt, killing one soldier and wounding two others, the army said. One of the Palestinians was also killed in the attack.
It was the second major assault on Israeli targets in Gaza in recent days and defied a shaky four-month truce between Israel and the Palestinians.
The flare-up in violence came as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice wrapped up a two-day visit to the region intended to spur Palestinians and Israelis to work together to ensure that Israel's planned pullout from Gaza this summer proceeds peacefully.
The violence began Sunday morning when a group of guerrillas fired an anti-tank missile and a hail of bullets at a military post along the Gaza-Egypt border to create a distraction, the army said. At the same time, other Palestinians attacked a nearby group of military engineers working on construction along the border, killing one soldier and wounding two others, the army said."
