The IDF Givati Elite commando unit eliminated two Arab terrorists early this morning as they were preparing to fire anti-tank missiles at Jewish towns along Israel's southern Mediterranean coast in Gaza. A similar Arab-launched missile fired on Sunday hit a Community Center in N'vei Dekalim and wounded six youths playing outside. One ten-year-old boy, Roni [ben Molly] Afriat, is recovering from serious shrapnel wounds to the face.
The IDF unit was patrolling in the Saja'iyeh neighborhood of Gaza today for the explicit purpose of preventing such missile attacks. After this morning's success, the soldiers remain stationed in the area and continue in their mission of tracking down missile and mortar launchers.
A bit further north, Arabs successfully fired an anti-tank missile and activated an explosive device against IDF troops. IsraelNN's southern correspondent Moshe Priel reports that there were no injuries in that attack.
Cooperation between the IDF and the Shabak led to the discovery and capture of a terror cell that planned a series of major attacks, including in a wedding hall in Netanya. News of the capture, which occurred a month ago, was released for publication today.
Last night's nightly IDF round-up of wanted terrorists netted 23 of them in the Shechem, Ramallah, and Hevron regions. The suspects have been transferred to the General Security Services (Shabak) for questioning.
