IDF Hits Rafah Terrorist Infrastructure
(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - Fourteen Palestinian combatants were killed and over 30 wounded when IAF helicopters fired missiles at two groups of armed Palestinians attempting to place bombs in Rafah's Tel Sultan neighborhood on the Egyptian border on Tuesday. Soldiers are conducting extensive searches for fugitives and arms tunnels. IDF spokeswoman Maj. Sharon Feingold said, "There is no systematic plan to tear down houses." She said Israeli forces would destroy houses where tunnels are found and those used by terrorists. Television footage showed groups of armed Palestinian men booby-trapping alleyways and buildings.
