GAZA (Reuters) - An Israeli missile strike on a Hamas security position in the central Gaza Strip killed at least one Hamas fighter and wounded three others on Tuesday, local medical staff said.

The Islamist group, which controls the coastal territory, said the man killed was a member of its security force.

An Israeli army spokeswoman said troops in the area fired missiles at a group of gunmen.
