An Arab terrorist was apprehended while trying to infiltrate the northern Shomron community of Chomesh last night. Another infiltrator was shot and wounded this morning while attempting to cross the border fence near Gaza. This incident occurred near Kibbutz Nir Yitzchak, which is one of several Kerem Shalom bloc communities just south of the Gaza Strip, 40 kilometers due west of Be'er Sheva.



South of Jenin, IDF soldiers found a 12-kg. (26 lb.) explosive device, with the help of three Arab terrorists who were arrested in a nearby Arab village. The bomb was safely neutralized.
