GAZA, March 6 (Reuters) - An Israeli military jeep was blown up on the Gaza Strip border on Thursday after apparently running over a landmine, a Palestinian witness said.

The witness said an explosion ripped through the jeep at Kissufim border crossing, and that two tanks and an ambulance rushed to the scene. "I believe the jeep was destroyed, because it was consumed by flames," the witness said. An Israeli military spokeswoman had no immediate details on the incident.
