STORYLINE:

Israel struck hard into the Gaza Strip by land and air on Friday, trading fire with gunmen in fighting that killed eight Palestinians including a 12-year-old boy, Palestinians said.

The deaths drove the Palestinian death toll to 16 in Israeli raids since a militant attack killed two Israeli civilians at a border fuel depot Wednesday, where Israel pumps vital supplies into Gaza.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has pledged to keep hitting Hamas so that it cannot "continue to operate against Israeli civilians as it does."

By Friday evening, Gaza residents said the ground fighting appeared to be easing although their were still exchanges

of Palestinian rockets and Israeli helicopter fire in which a Hamas fighter was killed.

The day's violence started in the early hours of Friday morning when Israeli aircraft killed two Hamas militants in a strike near the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis the group said.

The Israeli military said the air force struck at gunmen near the Gaza-Israel border fence.

Around sunrise, troops crossed about 1 kilometre (0.6 mile) into central Gaza and battled armed militants just outside the Bureij refugee camp.

A 12-year old boy was shot dead and six other Palestinians were wounded during the fierce exchange of fire, medics said.

Later in the day, in the same area, Israeli forces fired at a group of Palestinian militants who took up positions near a farm.

The soldiers killed four people and wounded several, including children, witnesses and doctors said, but it was unclear exactly how many of the casualties were combatants and how many were civilian bystanders.

The army confirmed troops were operating in Gaza, and that aircraft had struck.

In the town of Jebaliya, Palestinians gathered at a Hamas demonstration to protest against a months-old Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.

On Thursday, Israel cut off the only source of fuel to Gaza's 1.4 million (m) residents after a deadly Palestinian raid on the Israeli fuel depot, deepening the seaside territory's hardship.

The territory's Islamic Hamas rulers warned that more attacks will follow, as resentment grows over the blockade.

During Friday's rally, Hamas lawmaker Mushir al-Masri said the battle of Palestinians against Israel will continue.

"It is time for you people of the nation to scream, to rise and to revolt as the children die every day because of the violations of the Zionist enemy and American control over the Palestinian people," he said.

The unrest came as the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) released footage on Friday showing what they said was a car containing Palestinian gunmen being targeted by an airstrike in Gaza on Wednesday.

The black and white images show a car exploding as it travels along an empty road.

AP Television cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the video.

According to the Israeli military the Palestinian car was fleeing from the scene of an attack on Nahal Oz, a terminal between Gaza and Israel which is used as a passage to supply petrol and gas into the Gaza Strip.

Wednesday's brazen daylight attack on the Nahal Oz terminal between Gaza and Israel killed two civilian truck drivers and prompted Israel to close the facility, which supplies all the fuel for Gaza's residents.

Israeli officials indicated the cutoff would not last past the weekend.

An earlier Israeli plan to cut back fuel shipments in response to rocket attacks by Gaza militants was shelved under international pressure.

Hamas has ruled Gaza since June, 2007, when its militants routed forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Abbas now heads a Western-backed government based in the West Bank and is holding peace talks with Israel.

Hamas has continued attacking Israeli forces along the border and firing rockets at Israeli towns, and allows Gaza's other militant factions to do the same.

It has also threatened to breach the borders with Israel and Egypt if their closure of crossings to and from Gaza continue.

STORYLINE

Israeli forces fired at a group of Palestinian militants operating near a farm in central Gaza on Friday, killing four people and wounding several, including children, witnesses and doctors said.

It was not immediately clear how many of the casualties were gunmen and how many were civilian bystanders.

The army confirmed troops were operating in Gaza, and that aircraft had struck.

Meanwhile, in the town of Jebaliya on Friday, Palestinians gathered at a Hamas demonstration to protest against a months-old the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.

On Thursday, Israel cut off the only source of fuel to Gaza's 1.4 million (m) residents after a deadly Palestinian raid on the Israeli fuel depot, deepening the seaside territory's hardship.

The territory's Islamic Hamas rulers warned that more attacks will follow, as resentment grows over a months-old Israeli blockade.

During Friday's rally, Hamas lawmaker Mushir al-Masri said the battle of Palestinians against Israel will continue.

"It is time for you people of the nation to scream, to rise and to revolt as the children die every day because of the violations of the Zionist enemy and American control over the Palestinian people," he said.

The inevitable fuel cut off that followed the brazen daylight attack on the only fuel transfer point into Gaza brought charges that Islamic extremists were trying to provoke another round of violence with Israel, while putting Israel in the untenable position of appearing to cause a humanitarian crisis.

Though some Israelis demanded that Israel halt all supplies to Gaza, Israeli defence officials indicated that the fuel cut off would not last past the weekend.

Although Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, it remains the main source of imports into the impoverished territory.

Fuel and cargo enter and exit Gaza through two crossing points with Israel, and a third is the main passage for people.

The only direct crossing between Gaza and Egypt is usually closed, as Egypt cooperates with the boycott of the Hamas regime imposed by Israel and the West.

Hamas is threatening to crash through the Egyptian border wall again, after a January breakout allowed hundreds of thousands of Gaza to stream into Egypt for nearly two weeks
