Shots fired at IDF forces along Gaza border
Bullets hit army vehicle adjacent to border fence; no injuries reported in second such incident in three days
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Sunday fired at an IDF vehicle along Israel’s border with the Hamas-controlled territory, the army said.
Soldiers patrolling the southern portion of the Israel-Gaza border reported hearing gunfire in the area, and discovered multiple bullets lodged in the windshield of an IDF D9 tractor parked nearby.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
Sunday’s cross-border fire was the second such incident in three days.
On Friday afternoon, shots fired from the Gaza Strip struck IDF patrol convoy in the Eshkol Regional Council. An IDF spokesperson said the soldiers heard the gunfire and discovered that a bullet struck a civilian vehicle nearby.
No injuries were reported in that incident either.
The IDF said it had opened an investigation into both incidents.
