Palestinians fired a mortar at the Gaza Strip settlement of Neveh Dekalim Wednesday, just minutes after several hundred Palestinian prisoners were released into the Palestinian Authority.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
Earlier Wednesday, IDF troops arrested 14 Palestinians in the West Bank city of Jericho on suspicion of involvement in terror activity.
Also Wednesday, an elite Border Police unit apprehended wanted Tanzim member, Mohammed Alawuni, in a village south of the West Bank city of Jenin.
The 14 are believed to be involved in planning terror attacks against Israel and the creation of weapons to be used in the attacks.
Alawuni escaped from the Ofer detention center near the West Bank city of Ramallah several months ago together with three other Palestinian detainees.
He is the second fugitive to be caught.
They were probably conveying their thanks.
