[Jerusalem Post] An IDF soldier managed to foil an attempt to kidnap him during night operations in Gaza Sunday, Israel Radio reported. Soldiers entered a house which they knew was used as a Hamas command center, and discovered entrances to several tunnels.

The military assesses that the Palestinian terrorists were trying to lure the soldier to go after them alone into the tunnel in an effort to kidnap him.
