Arab terrorists fired eight mortar shells on army positions near the Erez crossing at the northern edge of the Gaza region several minutes ago. No injuries were reported. Mortar shelling has resumed in the past several days at the same time terrorists have sharply reduced the number of rocket attacks, possible as a tactic to give Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas more leverage in a planned meeting between and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Thursday.
In an unrelated counter-terrorist action, the IDF staged an aerial attack a terrorist cell trying to plant an explosive device on an army patrol road. Palestinian Authority (PA) sources said one Hamas terrorist was killed and a second was wounded.
