IDF Details Attempted Terror Attacks Carried Out under Guise of Gaza Border Protests
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - On Monday, at the peak of the violent riots near the security fence at the Gaza border, the IDF received intelligence about two Hamas cells intending to carry out terror attacks against IDF soldiers by planting bombs on the security fence. A special forces unit ambushed one of the cells on the Israeli side of the border, catching them in the act. Eight Hamas terrorists opened fire on the soldiers and threw explosives at their positions. Seeing this, the crowd of demonstrators fled the area. This gave the Israeli soldiers a window to return fire and shoot dead the eight terrorists. Another special forces unit was dispatched to thwart the second terror cell, managing to shoot dead all three terrorists. Their bodies were promptly hauled away by Palestinian women and men dressed as women to deter the IDF from opening fire on them.
