Terror Attack Attempt on the Gaza Security Fence Thwarted

A group of Palestinian gunmen opened fire this morning at an IDF force
patrolling the Israeli side of the Gaza Strip's security fence, north of the
Nahal Oz fuel terminal.

The gunmen arrived near the fence with a number of trucks leading five
horses loaded with explosive devices. A few of the gunmen were wearing
explosive belts.

They were planting explosive devices when the incident began.

The force responded with tank and machine gun fire, in conjunction with
combat helicopters which assisted the ground forces. The forces identified
hitting between three or four gunmen, wounding others.

No injuries or damage to IDF forces were reported in both incidents.
