Palestinians infiltrate security fence, sets fire to empty IDF post in defunct Kissufim crossing and flees back into Gaza
An Israeli tank
shelled a Hamas observation post in southern Gaza Strip Tuesday after a
group of Palestinians breached the security fence and set fire to an
empty IDF position. No injuries were reported.
The IDF said that the group, which was able
to get to the posts near the defunct Kissufim crossing, was under
surveillance from the moment it approached the border. They set fire to
an abandoned post and fled back into the coastal enclave.
Meanwhile, Palestinians fired at cars
traveling near the settlement of Dolev, 12 miles northwest of
Jerusalem. No injuries were reported but some damage was caused to one
of the vehicles.
Security forces cordoned off the area and were searching for suspects.
Since Hamas, the terrorist group that rules
Gaza, launched its "March of Return" campaign on March 30, there has
been a steady increase in attempts to breach the Israel-Gaza Strip
border.
The IDF said many of these attempts see
Palestinian try to place explosives on or near the security fence or
harm Israeli troops in other ways.
Also on Tuesday, the IDF revealed that a
Gazan drone breached Israeli airspace and crashed in the Shaar Hanegev
Regional Council. The military did not say when the incident took
place, noting only that the drone was picked up by the military for
inspection.
