A carbomb exploded alongside an IDF outpost in Gush Katif shortly before noon today; miraculously, no one was seriously hurt. A Palestinian terrorist driving the car opened fire at the soldiers, then veered sharply towards them and exploded. Four soldiers were lightly hurt and were taken to Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva. Three bodies were found in the blown-up vehicle.
Earlier today, a bomb exploded harmlessly near the Karni Checkpoint in Gaza. Arabs fired at an IDF force near Shechem during the night; no one was hurt.
In Shechem, IDF forces arrested a terrorist in the midst of planning to commit a suicide attack against Israelis. A senior Tanzim terrorist, responsible for shooting attacks in the Shechem vicinity, was one of nine other wanted terrorists or suspected accomplices arrested last night. A former local Tanzim leader in the Bethlehem area, long wanted by the IDF, gave himself up to army forces at a checkpoint south of Jerusalem.
