Israel - 'Very Large Terror Attack' Filed on Egypt Border, One IDF soldier killed.(INN).The IDF exchanged fire with terrorists who infiltrated into Israel from Egypt on Friday. The three terrorists were reported killed. An initial investigation showed that the terrorists entered into Israel through an area where there is no security fence and that they were heavily armed. Large IDF forces converged on the location of the firefight, in the Har Harif area, and engaged the terrorists until they were eliminated. "A very large terror attack was prevented," said IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai. "The terrorists apparently intended to infiltrate the territory of the state of Israel. They were found with explosive belts, vests and guns." Brig. Gen. Mordechai said it was not known yet which terror group carried out the attack. He added that the IDF is certain that no other terrorists are on the loose inside Israel. "They opened fire toward IDF troops that were guarding the workers (building the security fence) in that area. Another force that was nearby... rushed to the area and targeted those three terrorists," said military spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Avital Leibovich, according to AFP. "A very big terror attack was thwarted by the response of these soldiers." The IDF is holding a situation assessment following the attack. An IDF soldier has been killed in the attack at the border earlier today. A second soldier was seriously wounded, air lifted to the trauma unit of Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva.Read the full story here.More here.
