"At least six Israeli soldiers were killed Tuesday when their armored personnel carrier drove over a bomb during clashes with Palestinian gunmen in the Gaza Strip, pan-Arab television stations reported.

Quoting their correspondents in Gaza, the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya and the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera satellite channels said that the bomb exploded in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City at dawn Tuesday.

Al-Arabiya reported that Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad group, and Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas group, have claimed responsibility for the bombing. Both TV stations were monitored in Beirut.

In the Gaza Strip, Hamas issued another claim of responsibility, saying it had filmed Israelis evacuating their dead and wounded soldiers from the scene."
