"An Israeli naval patrol spotted a boat with four men in diving suits on their way to carry out a terror attack and fired at them," an Israeli army spokesman said, adding the patrol had confirmed hitting their targets.
The spokesman did not say what the army thought the divers' objective was.
Hamas security sources said four bodies had been found and a fifth man was missing and presumed dead.
The incident comes eight days after Israeli marines killed nine Turks on the deck of a Turkish passenger ship among a six-vessel convoy that set out to challenge an Israeli-led blockade of the Gaza Strip.
A second attempt by activists to break the blockade was stopped without incident on Saturday.
Israeli media said today's patrol was carried out by naval commandos from the same unit that boarded the Gaza-bound ships last week although the military spokesman declined to comment on this.
Palestinian militants in Gaza frequently try to attack Israeli border patrols and sporadically fire rockets and mortar bombs at Israel.
Attempts to attack from the sea, however, are rare.

Or perhaps not. One-sided reporting only cuts one way. It's like buying a burger and sitting down only to find it has no meat inside. This happened to me at a McDonalds here in China a year or so ago. I was most perturbed by the experience and found myself gripped by feelings that fluctuated between loathing, frustration, misanthopic rage, and hopeless despair :twisted: - similar emotions that I feel whenever I read a mainstream news article. :P
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
China. Now it all makes sense....
What makes sense?

the deductive skills of the Israelis! They're wearing diving suits to carry out a terror attack, but we don't know what their objectives were.
