(Jerusalem Post/Ha'aretz) Margot Dudkevitch - A powerful bomb containing hundreds of kilograms of explosives blew up on the wall of the Hirdon outpost near Rafah in the south Gaza Strip on Wednesday. The bomb had been placed by Hamas militants inside a 100-meter-long tunnel that had been dug leading up to the base. No one was wounded in the attack but the position suffered damage. An hour later a second bomb placed by Palestinians exploded, that had been intended for the emergency and rescue teams arriving after the first blast. The security establishment reports 52 current terror alerts.
