Palestinians Blow Up Israeli Tank
(Ha'aretz) - Wednesday night, a Merkava tank, driven by Sgt. Aviad Dotan, 21, hit a powerful land mine, killing him instantly. For the third time since the start of the fighting a Merkava tank was knocked out of commission and its personnel killed or wounded. The tank was moving along a dirt road near Kissufim, following some suspicious figures, when a 100-kilo bomb blew up underneath it. The tank commander was blown from the hatch, landing almost unharmed in a ditch. Two others were trapped inside the tank, one with light injuries, and the other with moderate injuries, and it took nearly five hours to get them out. Also in Gaza, two mortars were fired at an IDF position in Kfar Darom.
