In a similar shooting attack last night, also perpetrated by Fatah, two Israelis were wounded east of the Tapuach Junction, between Shomron and the Jordan Valley. One man was wounded moderately-to-seriously, while a woman from Ma\'aleh Ephraim was moderately wounded.



An official army announcement stated that alert IDF soldiers prevented what could have been a major terrorist attack this morning on the Karni-Netzarim road in Gaza. An IDF force noticed a group of terrorists attempting to place a bomb on the road; the soldiers opened fire, causing the terrorists to scatter. PA sources say that five of their men were hurt. A search is underway for any other bombs.
