JERUSALEM -- Shooting broke out Monday at the Erez crossing between Israel and Gaza, and a number of Palestinians were wounded, one seriously, Palestinian hospital officials said.

Israel TV reported Palestinians opened fire at Israeli soldiers at the crossing, and they returned the fire. There were no Israeli casualties, the TV report said. The Israeli military had no immediate comment.

Palestinian hospital officials said a seriously wounded Palestinian was being treated. Ambulance drivers said the exchange of fire was between the Hamas militia and Israeli soldiers at the crossing.

Since the Islamic Hamas took over Gaza, the Erez crossing has been crowded with Gazans trying to flee.

Israel has let only a few through the crossing.
