Fatah Claims Jerusalem Shooting Attack by Ezra HaLevi

(IsraelNN.com) Terrorists attacked Israeli security forces near Jerusalem’s Armon HaNetziv neighborhood Saturday evening. Two security officers were injured and two terrorists killed.

The shooting attack took place in the Sheikh Sa’id neighborhood, an area where construction continues on the Jerusalem section of the Partition Wall. One officer was wounded critically and a security guard moderately. They were evacuated to Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital.

The terrorists were killed in subsequent exchanges of gunfire. An Arab bystander was also shot dead during the fighting.

Fatah’s Al-Aksa Brigades terror group took responsibility for the attack.

Kassams Continue on Sderot
Ten Kassam rockets were fired Saturday at the western Negev from Gaza.

Two rockets hit Sderot Saturday evening – one striking a house and destroying it and the other striking a building in the town's industrial area. Three landed just south of the city of Ashkelon. The rest landed in open areas.

No injuries were reported, though several were treated for shock.

Firebomb Attack

Also Saturday night, a firebomb was thrown at an Israeli vehicle near the Rantis Junction. There were no injuries and no damage was reported. IDF troops searching the area found another firebomb hidden by the side of the road prepared for use.
