After a day of miracles in Gush Katif - a carbomb, several attempted terrorist infiltrations, and a 100-kilo explosive produced only two lightly wounded soldiers in total - Palestinian terrorism continued strongly over the weekend. A terrorist yesterday shot and killed Border Guard policeman Corp. Uriel Bar-Maimon, 21, at the Erez Industrial Park in northern Gaza. IDF soldiers pursued and killed the murderer, finding on his body an explosives vest used in suicide attacks.
Yesterday in Kalkilye, IDF soldiers ordered a suspicious Arab figure to stop as he was nearing the IDF checkpoint. When he refused to do so, soldiers fired opened fire, leading seconds later to the detonation of the explosives vest he was wearing. The man was on his way to carrying out a suicide attack either against the soldiers or within pre-1967 Israel. Earlier yesterday, another lone terrorist detonated a bomb near soldiers outside the PLO-controlled town of Tul Karem. No soldiers were hurt.
This morning as well, Arabs opened fire at IDF soldiers west of Kalkilye; no one was hurt, and IDF soldiers returned fire.
