A little girl who lives in Yitzhar in the Shomron was wounded late last night in a terrorist shooting attack not far from her home, but was released from the hospital this morning. A passenger in the car later told Arutz-7,
"It was very late, almost 2 AM, and we were driving along the Gilad Route [named for Gilad Zar, murdered in the same area in a May 2001 terrorist shooting] when they began firing at us. They fired around 4-5 rounds, and continued shooting even as we drove off. We soon realized that the little girl was wounded, when she complained of pain and we saw a wound in her leg. So we drove to the nearby army base, where they took us in very nicely, and took the girl to the hospital. This morning she was released, and everything is better, thank G-d."
Yet another bomb - 35 kilograms of explosives - was found south of Shechem today. The soldiers who found it called sappers to the site, and they defused it without incident. In addition, an IDF paratroopers force found and neutralized an old cache of arms west of Tul Karem, not far from Netanya. The cache included four old mortar shells and three grenades. Students in the Menuchah Rachel study group (Kollel) in Hevron reported that they were targeted in a gunfire attack this afternoon. No one was hurt.
An IDF General Staff officer told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee today that no fewer than nine suicide attacks were thwarted in the past month.
