[Ynet News] Hanan Greenberg - The IDF Saturday identified three Palestinians advancing towards the Gaza security fence and behaving in a suspicious manner. One of the men was killed and the other two were wounded. Earlier in the day five Palestinians infiltrated Israel near Kibbutz Be'eri but were eventually caught. Over the past three weeks, 10 gunmen have been killed while trying to plant bombs alongside the security fence. "Our goal is to stop anyone who approaches the fence; sometimes it's civilians, sometimes it's terrorists and sometimes it's terrorists pretending to be civilians," said a military official. "We have no intention of harming civilians, but it's often impossible to ascertain the intent of each individual infiltrator."
