IDF soldiers also killed two terrorists trying to infiltrate from northern Gaza to launch a terror attack.
The rocket struck a hothouse in Morag in Gush Katif Friday night, but failed to explode. At the same time, a mortar shell fell near an IDF position in Gaza - failing to cause any injury. Terrorists fired another mortar shell toward Kibbutz Nahal Oz, in the western Negev and within Israel's pre-1967 borders. This was the first time in several days a shell or rocket landed inside the old border.
Terrorists also opened fire on IDF soldiers on the road to Netzarim as well as near the town of Neve Dekalin in Gush Katif. No one was injured and soldiers returned fire.
Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces reported they arrested three senior terrorists, but subsequently released them just hours later. They are members of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) who were likely involved in Thursday's attack on Israeli soldiers, two of whom were injured.
The PA arrested the terrorists with fanfare, stating that the anarchy will end and the only legal weapons will be those in the hands of PA security officials. The three terrorists briefly arrested included the commander and spokesman of the DFLP.
An Israeli defense official said, "We have seen in the past Palestinian arrests like these. For now, we don't see any change, and a short arrest like this is not new."
