Gush Katif residents are demonstrating this morning at the Gush Katif junction, protesting yesterday\'s mortar attack on Atzmona. One of the protesters was arrested. Meanwhile, the IDF helicopter gunship retaliation on PLO targets last night did not put an end to Arab mortar attacks. Towards morning, four Arab-fired mortar shells landed in an open area just outside of the Jewish community of Netzarim. In response, IDF tanks stationed there fired back at PLO positions in Gaza city.
A roadside bomb exploded on the Karni-Netzarim road this morning. No injuries are reported. Further south, Arab terrorists fired at the IDF post on the border between Israel and Egypt. IDF forces returned fire. Last night, an Israeli soldier was lightly injured when shrapnel penetrated his leg during an exchange of fire between IDF and PLO forces outside of El-Hader near Bethlehem. Arutz-7 correspondent Haggai Seri reports that during the gun battle, a bullet penetrated a mobile home on Giv\'at HaDagan in Efrat; nobody was hurt in that incident. Further north, IDF tanks last night pelted Arafat\'s \"Force 17\" posts in Kfar Betunya west of PLO-controlled Ramallah. The action came after PLO paramilitary forces opened fire on Israeli troops outside the village.
