The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) claims it has captured and killed more than 10 Hamas militants who entered Israel via two tunnels.
The statement was made by IDF spokesman Peter Lerner on his Twitter profile, who wrote: "Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel through two tunnels from north Gaza. IDF intercepted and killed more than 10 terrorists."

Israel's continued aerial bombardment of Gaza resulted in an exodus of some 35,000 civilians according to officials, while Israel's UN ambassador Ron Prosor denied claims by Hamas that an Israeli soldier had been abducted.
Earlier, the armed wing of the Palestinian Hamas group said it had kidnapped the soldier, saying: "We have captured a Zionist soldier and the occupation has not admitted that."
Officials said 35,000 civilians fled the fighting on Sunday The UN Security Council has opened urgent talks on the conflict appealed for an immediate ceasefire, as Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas called for an emergency session and described the situation in Gaza as "intolerable" and the Israeli attacks a "crime against humanity".
The 15-member Council met as UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon held talks with regional leaders and called on Israel to exercise "maximum restraint and do far more to protect civilians".

People fleeing Israeli shelling in the northeast Gazan neighbourhood of Shaja'iya at the weekend described it as a "massacre", with many women and children among the dead.
The bodies of 16 Palestinians were found in rubble following the continued airstrikes, according to medics.
Rubel, 20, was killed in Gaza on Saturday during Operation Protective Edge The Israeli army said it had given civilians two days warning to leave the area.
"A heinous massacre has been committed against our people in the Gaza Strip this (Sunday) morning," said the Palestinian representative to the United Nations, Ryad Mansour.
"There is no justification for this massacre committed against our people.
The wife and children of an Israeli soldier mourn during his funeral "Our people are extremely frustrated and fed up with the Security Council and the international community because they are not doing what they should be doing in order to stop this aggression against our people."
The Israeli government claimed Hamas was hiding behind the civilian population.
Spokesman Naftali Bennet said: "What Hamas is doing is effectively self genocide.
Pro-Israel supporters rallied at Times Square, New York at the weekend "They're, in a cowardly and cynical fashion, placing their women and children as shields, killing them, then coming to Sky News and other outlets and saying 'Israel is killing us'."
The Israeli military said it has so far hit more than 2,500 targets in Gaza, including 1,100 rocket launchers, after nearly two weeks of fighting.
It says around 70 militants have been killed and another 13 brought to Israel for questioning after more than 1,760 rockets were fired at Israeli cities since July 8.
Pro-Palestine supporters protested against the conflict in Los Angeles Last week, Hamas rejected an Egyptian-brokered truce - saying it would only agree if Israel and Egypt significantly eased the border blockade of Gaza.
Since the start of the fighting, more than 447 Palestinians have been killed and more than 2,600 wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
