Israeli soldiers identified a cell of three Palestinian terrorists in the midst of attempting to place an explosive device along the Israel-Egypt border. The troops opened fire, although the terrorists managed to trigger the bomb; one terrorist was killed, one was captured, and the third escaped.
In response, troops and tanks entered a PLO-controlled area of Rafiach in search of explosives and arms-smuggling tunnels. During the mission, Palestinians shot and threw dozens of grenades at the troops, who returned fired and killed two Arabs and wounded two others; they also arrested four Arabs suspected of terrorist activity.
Another terrorist in the midst of planning a major attack in an Israeli city was captured last night in Kalkilye. Four terrorist suspects were captured near Tul Karem, as well as others in other locations in Judea and Samaria.
