My Way News - Israeli soldiers leave Gaza after fierce clash
My Way News reports: "Israel withdrew its troops from the Gaza Strip Saturday after some of the fiercest gunbattles with Palestinian militants in the Hamas-run territory since last year's military offensive. [...] Israel and Egypt sealed their borders with Gaza in 2007 after Hamas militants overran the coastal territory. Since then, Gaza has depended heavily on smuggled cash and goods. Egypt is building an underground barrier along its border with Gaza to try to cut off the smuggling."
