IDF: 3 armed Palestinians attempt to lay bomb on border, are killed

The Israeli army says it killed three armed Palestinians who were attempting to lay a bomb on the border fence with Gaza.

“Moments ago, an IDF patrol foiled a bomb-laying attack by a cell of three armed terrorists near Rafah, close to the border. This is a particularly violent protest point. The troops responded with fire at the terrorists. The terrorists were killed.”

The IDF also says an Israeli aircraft targeted a Hamas post in Jabaliya after shots were fired at Israeli troops stationed in the area. There were no Israeli casualties, the army says.

Israel says 35,000 Palestinians are protesting at a dozen locations along the Gaza border. “Rioters are hurling pipe bombs and firebombs at IDF troops, burning tires, throwing stones and burning objects, with the intention of setting fires in Israel and hurting IDF troops,” the army says.
