Four soldiers were wounded this afternoon - including one whose leg had to be amputated - when their army vehicle was attacked by Arab fire. It is not yet clear whether the vehicle over-drove an explosive, or was rocketed by a mortar shell.
An IDF soldier was seriously wounded in Beit Hanoun, Gaza last night in the framework of the army's activities against the Kassam rocket-launching cells. Ten terrorists were killed in several clashes last night, as well. The IDF says that it is continuing to expand its hold in the region, in its efforts to prevent Kassam attacks on the town of Sderot. The forces are manning a "security zone" around the town of Beit Hanoun, in the northeast corner of Gaza, only two aerial kilometers from Sderot. The IDF offensive into Beit Hanoun began on June 29th after Arabs there fired Kassam rockets on Sderot, which killed two people, including a 3-year-old boy on his way to nursery.
The wounded soldier was operated on during the night, and is listed in serious but stable condition.
