Three terrorists were eliminated in the course of the night, in two separate attempted-murders. Early in the evening, an IDF force identified a two-terrorist cell trying to place an explosive near the Gush Katif entry checkpoint. It took a chase of three hours, but the army forces finally managed to kill them. Before that, another IDF force killed an armed terrorist on his way to a shooting attack at Kisufim. Next to his body was found a Kalachnikov, bullets, and grenades.
