A terrorist taking part in a planned two-pronged attack in Kfar Darom in Gaza this morning fired at IDF soldiers, but hit a Thai worker instead. The latter was taken to Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva, where he died of his wounds a few hours later. Details of the incident are still sketchy, but it appears that while the first shots were fired, and as the soldiers were returning fire, terrorists from another direction launched a mortar shell at the same IDF force. In addition, another terrorist was reportedly seen headed towards the scene on a tractor.



The Thai worker who was killed was the first casualty in the Palestinian terrorist war against Israel in over a month, and the fourth foreign worker to have been killed by Palestinian terrorism in the past year.
