Israeli Soldier Killed on Egyptian Border
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - Terrorists in Sinai opened fire on IDF soldiers on the Israeli-Egyptian border on Friday, killing one soldier and wounding a second, before the gunmen were killed in return fire. Netanel Yahalomi, 20, was shot as he and his unit were giving water to African migrants who had arrived on the border. A second soldier was wounded when a suicide bomb belt around one of the terrorists went off. After the incident, IDF sappers recovered a machine gun, three rocket-propelled grenade launchers, Kalashnikovs, grenades, and a second suicide bomb belt. The terrorists were dressed in civilian clothing. IDF spokesman Brig.-Gen. Yoav Mordechai said, "The IDF stopped a very big terrorist attack."
