(Ynet News) Hanan Greenberg - The IDF on Tuesday released footage of the tracking system deployed along the Gaza border in order to thwart terror attacks. The system, dubbed "spot and strike," is operated by the IDF's Field Intelligence Corps. The footage shows how the system targets a Palestinian terrorist who was involved in an attempted attack that took place in December 2009. "The system proves most effective when we're dealing with real-time events that require immediate response," said Brig.-Gen. Eli Polak. The IDF found a ladder, ropes and explosives in the documented incident, indicating that the terrorists were planning to climb over the security fence in order to carry out an attack.
