GAZA, June 9 (Reuters) - Palestinian militants from Gaza infiltrated into southern Israel on Saturday during an attack on a key border crossing, the Israeli army said.

He said the army believed it had located the militants, but did not say how many might have got through.

Fatima Zak (L), 39, holds a Koran as Ruda Habib, 30, stands beside her during their remand extension hearing in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba June 14, 2007. A pregnant Palestinian mother of eight and her niece told Israeli interrogators they planned a double suicide bombing in Israel after they were detained last month, Israel's Shin Bet security service said on Wednesday. Citing what it said were confessions the two women made after their arrest trying to leave the Gaza Strip, it said Zak and Habib were recruited by militant group Islamic Jihad and applied to enter Israel for medical treatment.
