Israeli soldier and Palestinian die in Gaza border shootout

“This got time, the situation got out of control because the terrorist
succeeded in cutting through our fence, with very sophisticated equipment,
and entering Israel with live ammunition,” Major Shalicar said.

“We don’t know if he crossed the border to commit a suicide bombing or to
kidnap a soldier. An escalation of violence in not our aim but as today
proves, we have to be ready for any scenario. Are troops are there and ready
because if one of these men succeeds in entering Israel, we don’t know what
will happen.”

Several hours after the gun battle, the Israeli air-force targeted militant
cell in the southern Gaza Strip who the claim were preparing to launch a
rocket into Israel. Palestinian medics report that four people were injured,
two critically, in strikes on southern Gaza, which witnesses say hit an
auto-rickshaw.

A statement issued by the IDF on Friday morning read: “The IDF will not
tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians or IDF soldiers, and will
operate against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israel. The
Hamas terror organization is solely responsible for any terrorist activity
emanating from the Gaza Strip.”

Staff sergeant Moshiashvili was due to be buried at noon on Friday in a
military cemetery in Ashqelon
