IDF kills armed Palestinian disguised as soldier near Gaza's Erez crossing

IDF soldiers shot and killed an armed Palestinian terrorist wearing an IDF uniform Monday morning after he was spotted approaching an IDF position near the Erez crossing.

The army said the soldiers, who spotted the armed gunman in a restricted area near the border fence that encompasses Israeli settlements, fired shots at him. The gunmen returned fire.

The IDF Spokesman said that the soldiers found a Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition clips near the man's body.

Later Monday, a bomb was detonated near troops deployed at the Erez crossing.

Overnight Sunday, six mortar shells were fired at an Israeli settlement in the southern Gush Katif settlement bloc in the Gaza Strip from the nearby Khan Yunis refugee camp.

No one was wounded and no damage was reported in the attack.

The mortar fire came shortly after IAF helicopters fired missiles at a Hamas munitions storehouse east of Khan Yunis.

Based on the large explosion caused by the missile strike, officials estimated that the storehouse contained a large amount of weapons and munitions.

Palestinians reported 11 wounded in the late night raid.

In the West Bank security forces arrested three Palestinian fugitives, two in Jaba and one in Kalkilya.

In Tulkarm Border Police demolished the home of Marsi Sharif Husna Abu Farhana, a Hamas member from Kalkilya, who had recruited suicide bombers to carry out four attacks in Afula and Haifa.

The attacks were prevented as a result of his arrest.

The only way to put a stop to all this is to pick the terrorists off, one by one.

BLESS AND PROTECT THE IDF

If he had tried to enter into the United States from Mexico an illegal immigrants rights group would have met him at a border crossing with a driver's license and a voter's I.D. card. He would have then been driven to welfare services so that he could sign up for public assistance.
Orin Hatch would have endorsed his candidacy for president of the United States as long as he promised to never down load music off of the internet and Gray Davis would have encouraged his run for office even thought he couldn't speak a word of English.

Hope they don't release him as a part of some future roadmap.
