As Israel continues Operation Defensive Shield in its fight against Palestinian terrorism with the so-far unfulfilled hope that other nations of the world will realize that it is fighting their battle, the Arab terrorists continue their attempts to randomly murder Jews. They fired no less than 12 mortar shells at Jewish communities in Gush Katif; no one was hurt, but one shell hit a power line, blacking out most of the towns. In other attacks last night, a Moslem terrorist was killed trying to infiltrate the town of Nisanit in northern Gaza; two of his colleagues were detected attempting to infiltrate Atzmonah and ran away when fired upon; and Arabs fired at several IDF outposts in southern Gaza. Today, Northern Gaza was the site of yet another terrorist attempt; soldiers found an explosive device that had been placed near the fence, and army sappers safely dismantled the bomb. PA gunmen opened fire at the IDF outpost near the Netzarim Junction this afternoon.
