Islamic Jihad terror organization claims it has one of the five bodies of the IDF soldiers killed today. IDF doubts report because it is impossible there was even a whole body left due to the large explosion that encompessed the APC. The APC had explosives in it, as it was engaging in activity that uses explosives to blow up terrorist weapons tunnels. IDF preliminary investigation sees that an RPG was fired at the APC. IDF declares that those responsible will soon experience its long hand of justice.

IDF reports casualties in attack on APC near Rafah

By Arnon Regular, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service

The Israel Defense Forces Wednesday night said five soldiers, including one officer, were killed when an armored personnel carrier (APC) was hit while travelling through the Philadelphi Route, near Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Three soldiers were lightly injured in the incident.

The APC was hit at approximately 6 P.M. as it was performing operations aimed at uncovering weapons smuggling tunnels on the border between Egypt and Israel.

The families of the soldiers who were killed have been notified.

The APC was apparently hit by an anti-tank rocket or by a bomb, that caused explosives it was carrying to explode.

Emergency forces evacuated the wounded to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva.

Palestinian sources reported that 10 bystanders were injured as a result of the blast, the force of which sprayed parts of the APC over a wide area. Some of the debris even landed in Egyptian territory across the border.

Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.

Israeli F-16 fighter jets and helicopters were patrolling the area immediately after the attack, as large IDF forces were moving into the area of the blast.

According to Palestinian sources, an IAF helicopter fired two missiles at targets in the area, causing casualties.

The attack came 36 hours after six Israeli soldiers were killed when a bomb ripped apart the armored personnel carried in which they were travelling through the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City.

Israel must fight Koranazis' Terror War or die.

Islam abides no civilians in their kind of Haddith warfare.

Gaza should be made open sands for a 22nd Century beach resort for Israelis at peace.

Pallies must be served the justice so long deserved, as a lost race of war criminals.

There can be no doubt this war is escalating on both fronts, and will continue to escalate for the forseeable future.

I agree with you. It seems as the evil has whipped itself into an unstoppable frenzy.
