Because of the IDF offensive into Beit Jala, the nearby Tunnels Highway to Gush Etzion was closed all night. Efrat resident Ben Dansker took the alternative route, and near Moshav Roglit, on the pre-1967 side of the Green Line, he was shot and wounded in his hand and leg by Palestinian terrorists. He is listed in moderate condition.
The night was replete with Palestinian shootings in various locations, including at Mt. Gerizim, near Rachel\'s Tomb, Dagan Hill in Efrat, Kibbutz Magal, and elsewhere. A roadside bomb was safely detonated north of Tapuach, causing a two-hour middle-of-the-night delay to a busload of passengers returning from a Bar Mitzvah in Yitzhar. This afternoon, Arabs shot in Hevron and at a Border Guard outpost in Tul Karem.
Gaza, too, was the scene of intensive fighting last night, although no one was hurt. Arabs shot at Kfar Darom, a Gush Katif army base, and at soldiers near Rafiach. Israeli forces took down eight buildings in southern Rafiach, on the Israeli-Egyptian border, that had been used for camouflaging snipers and smuggling weapons.
Following is a list of recent terrorism victims and their \"Mi SheBayrach\" names for those who wish to recite prayers on their behalf:
* Ben Dansker - Ben-Tzion ben Fraidel Toma - 50, of Efrat. Wounded light-to-moderately. Shot in hand and leg last night, Monday, Aug. 28.

The police and GSS arrested a would-be suicide terrorist in Be\'er Sheva and his accomplice today. The latter was apprehended this morning in a home in the Bedouin town of Tel Sheva, and he led the investigators to the suicide killer and his pack of explosives. In a separate incident, a Shimshon Brigade force south of Hevron stormed a house and killed a PA military officer, and caught his aide and another terrorist; two terrorists escaped during the battle. Many Kalachnikov rifles and guns were found in the house.
