IDF Kills 4 Armed Palestinian Terrorists near Gaza Border on Saturday

(Ha'aretz) Lilach Shoval - IDF troops killed four heavily-armed Palestinians as they attempted to cross the Gaza border at 4 a.m. on Saturday. "The terrorists were armed with AK-47 assault rifles, RPG grenade launchers, and hand grenades," the IDF said. IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis said "a large-scale terrorist attack was thwarted." He added that the nature and scope of the weaponry showed that there was a carefully prepared operation in motion. (Israel Hayom) According to reports, the four were former members of Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades who belonged to an extremist Salafi Muslim sect. Israeli defense sources said it was unlikely that an attack with this level of preparation could have been planned without Hamas or Islamic Jihad's knowledge.
