In a terrorist shooting this morning, just nine hours after Arabs murdered ten Israelis in downtown Jerusalem, an Israeli was shot and killed in his vehicle while travelling south of Ashkelon. The terrorist cell infiltrated the area of Elei Sinai and Nisanit and began shooting at random passing Israeli vehicles. Four others were wounded. IDF forces pursued the two terrorists and, after an extended battle, killed them. Shortly after the incident, Arabs fired mortar shells at Israeli positions in the same area, but no injuries were reported. IDF soldiers returned fire.
