Palestinian Arab terrorists from Gaza crossed the border fence south of Kissufim on Tuesday morning and set fire to an IDF sniper post located on a dirt embankment.

There were no injuries. In response, an IDF tank attacked an observation post belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in southern Gaza.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement that "the attack was a response to the torching of a military position caused by a number of terrorists who crossed from the Gaza Strip earlier this morning. There were no injuries IDF troops monitored the event since it began.”
