If it was felt that the number of attempted murders by Palestinians had dropped over the past two days - since the murder of 18-year-old Yuri Gushtzin earlier this week - the events of today should dispel that illusion. Terrorists targeted a bus with a bomb near the entrance to the Shomron community of Einav this afternoon, and the driver sustained light injuries. Earlier, a Palestinian-placed bomb damaged an IDF vehicle near the Sa-Nur base. Arabs also shot at a Border Guard vehicle north of Jerusalem, and at an IDF position near N\'vei Dekalim this afternoon; no one was hurt in any of the incidents.
Last night: Anti-tank grenades against soldiers in southern Gaza... Southern DCO attacked with gunfire; soldiers returned fire... Firebombs against soldiers near Ramallah... Firebombs against an IDF position near Beit Omar, between Hevron and Bethlehem; soldiers returned fire... Gunfire at an armored personnel carrier near the Rafiach Crossing to Egypt and at the nearby Tarmit outpost...
Two Israelis were wounded early yesterday evening during a demonstration inside the Gaza community of Morag against Palestinian violence. Ironically, the wounds were caused when a mortar shell was shot by Arabs into Morag. The wounded were a soldier and a Morag resident. In response, the IDF destroyed a nearby PA police position from where the mortar was shot.
