IDF forces thwarted yet another attempted terrorist infiltration into a Gush Katif community this morning. Around 6 AM, soldiers noticed three terrorists approaching the area between Netzer Hazani and Katif, on Israel's southern Mediterranean coast, and fired at them. One was killed, and two escaped back towards Khan Yunis. On the body of the dead terrorist were found a Kalachnikov rifle and several grenades.
The Jewish areas in Gaza came under attack in other incidents as well over the night. Two soldiers were lightly wounded when a bomb was detonated against their armored vehicle near Morag. One of the soldiers was transported to the Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva... A mortar shell landed in one of the communities this morning, but did not explode... Soldiers in northern Gaza at Erez were targeted by Arab gunfire during the night; no one was hurt...
Armed Arab killers also attempted to infiltrate the IDF Ofir base in the Ramallah area during the night. Soldiers opened fire, scattering the enemy gunmen, and no one was hurt.
IDF forces arrested four PA residents in Shechem wanted for questioning in connection with terrorist activities. In addition, Tanzim terrorist Sultan Sa'ad was arrested in the Askar area near Shechem. He is connected to the fatal terror attack on Mount Eval in October 2000 in which Rabbi Binyamin Herling was murdered.
