IDF Special forces operating along Israel and Gaza strip border on Friday 21 December 2007 .A Hamas militant was killed Friday morning in by Israel Defense Forces fire in the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Yunis on Friday, the Palestinian Islamist group and medical workers said. The IDF Spokesman's Office, however, said it was not aware of any exchange of fire in the area. The IDF has said it would continue its attacks against militants in the Gaza Strip despite calls by the Hamas leadership for a possible temporary calm. Defense officials say the heavy pressure on the militants is making progress, and there will be room to consider a change to the offensive only if Hamas imposes on other militant factions a moratorium on Qassam rocket attacks.All photos by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye
