Three Palestinians attempting to infiltrate into Israel from Gaza killed by IDF
In two separate incidents the Israeli Army shoots at demonstrators attempting to damage the security fence on the border
Israeli soldiers killed three Palestinians in two separate incidents on the Gaza border.
In one of the Sunday evening incidents, soldiers shot at two Palestinians trying to damage the security fence and infiltrate into Israel, killing one, the Israeli army said. The other was taken into custody for questioning.
In the second incident, two Palestinians broke through the security fence and began throwing firebombs at soldiers, who responded with gunfire, killing both infiltrators.
Earlier in the evening, two Palestinians armed with knives and tools meant to damage the border fence were arrested after they infiltrated into Israel on the border with southern Gaza, according to the Israeli army.
Also Sunday, a fire broke out in the Gaza border-area Kissufim forest after a kite carrying a Molotov cocktail launched from Gaza landed there. The blaze was brought under control by firefighters.
A few hours ago, a Hamas terrorist tried to sabotage the fence and other security equipment at the Karni Crossing, near where the Hamas-led assault on the fence was stopped only two days ago. He was apprehended. Another attempt by Hamas to attack Israel. More details to follow. pic.twitter.com/a0vxolDKO5
