| Soldiers blew up a 60 kilogram bomb on Saturday that had been placed by Palestinians south of the Karni crossing in north Gaza Strip. Earlier in the day, security forces detonated a 40-kilogram bomb that had been placed by Palestinians south of the Sufa crossing in south Gaza. Shots were fired at soldiers and a nearby IDF post in Neveh Dekalim, and also at an IDF post near Rafah. On Friday morning, soldiers north of the Karni crossing shot a Palestinian who opened fire on the troops. Shortly after, they spotted and shot a second gunman. In the West Bank, security forces arrested a Palestinian armed with a gun who attempted to evade arrest near Hebron on Saturday. He was arrested as security forces concluded an operation to nab stolen Israeli vehicles in the town and were loading them onto a truck when they spotted the gunman. |
