'Blast' on Israeli-Gazan border

There has been an explosion along Israel's border with the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military had no immediate confirmation of any casualties, though one Arab news agency said an Israeli soldier had been killed.

There has also been a report of clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants near the border.

Israeli troops withdrew from Gaza last week after an offensive to stop militant rocket fire. More than 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis died.
