Two IDF soldiers were lightly wounded while arresting Palestinian fugitives in Nablus overnight Wednesday after shots were fired at them.
Along the Israel-Gaza border an IAF aircraft fired a missile and killed three memebers of Islamic Jihad early Thursday morning who were planting a bomb along the security fence, according to the IDF. The bomb, according to the IDF, was an unusually large 30 kilograms.
