A special forces unit ambushed one of the cells on the Israeli side of the border, catching them in the act. Eight Hamas terrorists opened fire on the soldiers and threw explosives at their positions. Seeing this, the crowd of demonstrators fled the area.

Their bodies were promptly hauled away by Palestinian women and men dressed as women to deter the IDF from opening fire on them.
