IDF soldiers detected and killed two armed terrorists south of Hevron this morning. The Arabs had opened fire on the troops from within a local cave, but no Israelis were hurt. In another incident early this morning, reserve soldiers sought and finally found an armed terrorist trying to enter Kibbutz Nachal Oz, east of the Gaza Strip. After opening fire, the soldiers ascertained that he was no longer dangerous, administered first aid, and then transferred him to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon.



It was learned today that Al-Qaeda planned to perpetrate a major terror attack against an Israeli soccer team in Malta a few weeks ago. The plan was nipped in the bud when the Malta police arrested a Tunisian citizen with connections to Al-Qaeda.



Yet another leading Palestinian terrorist was killed today when Israel Air Force helicopters fired missiles at the PA building in Gaza in which he was hiding. Mustafa Sabah, identified with Fatah, was responsible for the huge explosives placed along the route of the IDF's Merkavah tanks. The three bombs - in February, March, and September of this year - killed seven soldiers. Five Arabs were wounded in today's hit on the PA building.
