Army spokesmen said Saturday that there have been 40 attempted bombings in the Gaza region since a ceasefire was declared in late 2006. The 40th attempt came on Saturday night, when IDF soldiers stationed near Gaza saw terrorists placing a charge near the security fence in the area. Air force helicopters arrived and fired on the terrorists, hitting them.
In 2006, Israel agreed to refrain from taking military action against terrorist groups in Palestinian Authority-controlled Gaza. Terrorist groups promised nothing in return, saying they planned to continue attacks until their demands were met. Along with the attempted bombings, there have been many Kassam rockets launched at Jewish towns, with several hitting their targets.
