While it hasn't been totally quiet on the Southern front since the cease-fire went into effect earlier today things were stepped up. An IDF patrol passing by the border fence with Gaza, near the Kisufim junction was attacked. Initially with an IED and then with RPG and small arms fire. Israeli forces responded with machine gun and tank fire. Unfortunately one soldier was killed and three wounded in the attack. Meanwhile the family has requested that his name not be released. Tzipi Livni has called for a response. Barak: This is a serious incident and we will respond. He also said that we should be ready for more terror attacks.
UPDATE: 1 killed, 2 seriously injured in attack.

It going to be a little difficult this time for them to deny that all is not quiet on the Southern front.
ReplyDeleteGaza War Urban Myth:
ReplyDeleteThe unit was in a building waiting to move forward.
They decided to pray the evening prayers.
Unbeknownst to them a sniper was watching them.
At the end of their prayers the sniper prepared to fire.
Just then, one of the soldiers remembered to say "Barchu" at the end of the prayer, and all the soldiers bowed down... just as the sniper fired.
Needless to say, the sniper missed.
