09:15: The Israel Air Force has targeted terrorists operating in northern Gaza, apparently trying to place an explosive device along a northern border fence. According to unconfirmed reports from Gaza, the terrorists were hit, possibly killed.
This has led to many expecting rocket attacks from Gaza into southern Israel in retaliation for the IAF action.
09:21: According to reports from Gaza, one person was killed and three wounded in the IAF assault.
The IDF is calling on Israelis to distance themselves from the Gaza border at this time.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, IDF Spokesman:”Forces guarding the Border with Gaza face a growing threat from hostile terror groups attempting to destabilize the situation on the ground. The IDF will continue to protect the residence of Israel and the forces guarding them on the borders.”
