4 terrorists killed in failed infiltration attempt
Four Palestinian terrorists are killed in a failed attempt to infiltrate the Zikim area, located a few kilometers from the northwestern edge of Gaza Strip. They came from the sea, according to Israel Radio.
An IDF soldier is said to have been lightly injured in the exchange of fire with the armed Palestinians, members of a Gazan terror cell.
Meanwhile, police forces have been deployed in great numbers to the area to prevent additional infiltration attempts from the Gaza Strip into Israel.
