Arutz-7\'s Kobi Finkler reports on a notable IDF success in Gaza this morning: An IDF observation force, keeping watch on a Gaza area from where shells have lately been fired towards Kibbutz Kfar Aza, noticed a car engaged in just such mortar-firing activity. In fact, a number of mortar shells had been fired towards Kfar Aza and Kibbutz Nachal Oz, within pre-1967 Israel, not long before. The soldiers relayed the information to a nearby tank, which launched a shell at the car and killed two terrorists: the bodyguard of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, and another leading Tanzim figure. At that point, the soldiers entered the PA-controlled area, took the body of one of the dead terrorists for identification purposes, as well as two mortar launchers that were in the destroyed car.
Palestinian shooting from Beit Jala towards Jerusalem\'s southeastern neighborhood of Gilo was heavy yesterday and last night. Four women were wounded, one of them moderately; 14 apartments were damaged. In a departure from past tradition, the gunfire began while children were still playing on the streets, forcing them to throw themselves on the ground and crawl for protection. Four girls playing on a mountainside were rescued one by one by Border Guard policemen. The IDF responded to the attack with tank and small-arms fire.
Two Israeli policemen were hurt - their wounds were described as \"light\" - when their vehicle drove over a mine. Kol Rina News Agency reports that the incident occurred near Adorayim, in the South Har Hevron region. Two bombs thrown at IDF forces in Mt. Eval, and several bombs and grenades in Hevron; no one was hurt.
Arutz-7\'s Kobi Finkler reports that a car exploded this morning near the Moslem cemetery in Gaza City, and several people are reported injured. Speculation over whether it was another Arab \"work accident,\" or another Israeli retaliation, was rife.
