Two IDF soldiers were wounded today when they were shot by a Palestinian terrorist sniper in southern Gush Katif. One of the two was hit in his face or head, while the other one was lightly wounded in his hand. The two were engaged in engineering works and protecting greenhouses in the Jewish town of Rafiach Yam. The incident occurred shortly after 1 PM, with the gunfire coming from houses in the Arab neighborhood of Tel Sultan. The two were evacuated by helicopter to Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva.
Three Israelis were wounded in a mortar shell attack late this afternoon near N'vei Dekalim in southern Gaza. They are listed in light-to-moderate condition.
No one was hurt in several other incidents today, including an attack on a car near Bethlehem, gunfire towards an IDF outpost near Rafiach, and shots at an IDF base near N'vei Dekalim. Five mortar shells were fired at Jewish towns in Gaza since last night, continuing a recent increase in such attacks.
