Another miracle in Gaza: Two rockets fired by Arab terrorists at the town of N'vei Dekalim were found unexploded in the schoolyard this morning (Sunday) by children playing at the site. Border Guard sappers neutralized the explosives without incident.
In Shechem, Palestinian Authority terrorists shot and killed a seven-year-old Arab boy when they opened fire on Israeli forces operating in the city. Other attacks over Saturday included: gunfire directed at soldiers near Atzmona (southern Gaza); a bomb detonated against soldiers in the Rafiach area of southern Gaza; gunfire aimed at an IDF position near the Gush Katif community of Gadid; rock attacks on the Hussan Bypass Road, Abu Dis, Anabta, Giti Junction, Anaza, and Yakir Junction; a firebomb attack near Sabastia. No injuries were reported in any of the latter incidents.
In an early morning counterterrorism operation, IDF forces shot and killed a Fatah terrorist in Dahariya, in the Hevron Hills region. The wanted man, who was planning a terrorist attack for the coming days, attempted to flee to the roof of his house when soldiers came to arrest him. The soldiers mistook a staff he held for a rifle and reacted with deadly force. In Bethlehem last night, IDF forces opened fire on a suspicious Arab male who made his way to the IDF positions at Rachel's Tomb; the forces were subsequently targeted in a firebomb attack. In Bidya, between Ariel and Petach Tikva, IDF engineers today demolished the home of the Arab terrorist who attacked and injured four people, including a female soldier, with an axe in Ramat Gan last week. Overnight, IDF troops operating in Judea and Samaria arrested seven PA residents suspected of terrorist activities. Those arrested include Fatah Tanzim, Islamic Jihad and Hamas members.
Security agencies continue to operate on a high alert status and the closure imposed on PA residents of Judea, Samaria & Gaza continues.
