The army fired two rockets at the car of senior Fatah terrorist Jihad al-Masimi in Shechem today. Al-Masimi, who commands the special PLO police forces in Shechem, was hit and both he and his bodyguard are in light-to-moderate condition. It is not yet clear if the missiles were fired from Mt. Eval or from a helicopter. Al-Masimi was responsible for many terrorist attacks in the past, and was in the midst of planning additional ones for the near future.



An IDF officer and three soldiers were lightly wounded last night during an exchange of fire with Arabs near Tul Karem (western Shomron, near Netanya). Palestinians fired six anti-tank grenades and four other grenades towards Israeli targets in Gaza; they caused no casualties or damage.
