IDF Begins Anti-Terror Operation in Southern Gaza
(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - IDF forces entered Rafah on Monday as part of ongoing operations against the terrorist infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, and the arms smuggling tunnels in particular. Forces are deployed in an attempt to isolate Rafah from the rest of the Strip and prevent long-range weapons from being smuggled into Gaza from Egypt. The move is also designed to stop reinforcements from arriving to help Palestinian combatants ahead of an expected, prolonged battle. On Sunday night a tank fired at three Palestinians approaching the security fence at Kibbutz Be'eri in the Western Negev. The three were killed, and shortly after the first impact there was an explosion apparently caused by a bomb the three terrorists were carrying.
