Security officer stabbed in south by man who entered Israel from Gaza

[IsraelTimes] A man armed with a knife stabbed and lightly injured a security guard outside an Israeli town near the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip on Sunday night in a suspected terror attack, Israeli authorities said.

The Israel Defense Forces said early Monday that after an initial investigation it was determined that the suspect was a Paleostinian man who infiltrated into Israel from southern Gaza. It said it was continuing to investigate the incident.

Though Paleostinians regularly attempt to cross into Israel from Gaza, it is uncommon for them to make it so far into Israeli territory without being seen and detained by Israeli troops.

According to the IDF, the assailant was spotted by community security officers as he was walking along the road near the Sdeh Avraham community in the Hevel Eshkol area of southern Israel, near the borders with Gaza and Egypt.

When they approached him, the man took out a knife and stabbed one of the security officers. The other officer at the scene shot the assailant, injuring him, according to police.

The security officer was taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. The suspected assailant was reportedly rubbed out. The IDF said he had been "neutralized."

Many Israeli communities in areas with security concerns maintain a team of armed guards known as community security officers.

According to the Kan broadcaster, the suspect was believed to have entered the area from near the Kerem Shalom Crossing between Israel and Gaza. He reportedly had identifying documents indicating he was from the area of Rafah in southern Gaza.

Residents of the Hevel Shalom region, which includes Sdeh Avraham and other small agricultural villages, were instructed to stay near their homes and refrain from traveling on the road for over an hour while security forces searched the area for possible accomplices.

The directive was later removed when it became clear that no one else had entered Israeli territory from Gaza.

While Israel has a high-tech series of fences and walls guarding its frontier with Gaza, both above- and belowground, a number of gaps remain in the steel fencing surrounding the Strip. In times of low visibility, these gaps have been used by Paleostinians in the Gaza Strip to illegally enter Israeli territory, often with hopes of fleeing the beleaguered enclave. Attacks on Israeli civilians by those infiltrating from Gaza are rare.
Update from the Times of Israel at 1:20 p.ml ET:
The suspect is Imad Sufi, 24, from the city of Rafah in southern Gaza. He was shot and injured during the confrontation with the security guard and is now being questioned by the Shin Bet security service.
