(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Four Palestinian terrorists attacked the Erez crossing between northern Gaza and Israel with explosives-laden jeeps and rifle fire. The first jeep blew up near a Palestinian police outpost south of the crossing, killing two policemen and injuring several other Palestinians. The second jeep blew up at the most forward Palestinian position at the crossing. A third jeep, camouflaged as an IDF vehicle, sped toward the soldiers stationed at the IDF's most southern position at the crossing, crashing into the gate next to their outpost. A gunman dressed in an IDF uniform and carrying a Kalashnikov rifle jumped out and opened fire. The soldiers returned fire and killed him, as well as a second terrorist in the jeep.
