- In a terror attack at 12:45 PM today, Gazan Arabs opened
fire and murdered a pregnant mother and her only four children and injured
a civilian and two soldiers on the Kissufim Road leading into Gush Katif,
along Israel's southern Mediterranean coast
-
- The preliminary investigation indicates that two terrorists
came from the nearby Arab town Dir el-Balah and waited for an Israeli car
to pass by on the main vehicular artery which leads into the Gush Katif
region. The first burst of gunfire targeted a civilian vehicle, murdering
a mother in her 6th month of pregnancy and her only four children - all
daughters, the oldest of which was 8 years old. As a second civilian car
approached, the terrorists opened fire again, as was the case when the
third vehicle arrived, an armored IDF patrol vehicle. The soldiers immediately
returned fire and engaged the terrorists in a gun battle. As the soldiers
pursued the attackers, an explosive device or a grenade was detonated against
them, resulting in injuries. The terrorists were eliminated.
