Palestinian Terrorists Murder Six Israeli Civilians at Gaza Border Crossing
(Jerusalem Post) Six Israeli civilian security guards were murdered in a Palestinian terrorist attack at the Karni crossing at the Israel-Gaza border on Thursday night. Five others were wounded. Three attackers planted a large bomb at a door separating the Israeli and Palestinian sides of the terminal, blowing it open, then infiltrated inside where they died in a gunbattle. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Hamas, and the Popular Resistance Committee claimed responsibility for the attack. (Reuters) Karni is the main crossing for goods and merchandise between Israel and the Gaza Strip. It was open late as a gesture to new PA head Mahmoud Abbas. In recent months there have been constant attempts by Palestinians to attack the crossings, security officials said.
