Three armed militant killed when they try to slim into Israel from Egypt's Sinai peninsula. Clashed claimed life of one Israeli soldier and wounded another.
"A big terror attack was thwarted," Israeli army spokeswoman Lieutenant-Colonel Avital Leibovich said of Friday's violence.
It was at least the fourth cross-border attack in just over a year - violence that has persisted despite an Egyptian army and police crackdown on Sinai militants begun last month.
Israeli officials say one attacker's explosives detonated during the clash, which they described as a terrorist attack. The incident took place in the Har Harif region.
