Several mortar shells exploded following a brief exchange with the IDF’s Golani Brigade before Israeli air forces spotted a car armed with a heavy machine gun. The aerial vehicle bombed the car and it appeared as if its four occupants were killed.
A senior military officer said the car carrying the machine gun was several hundred meters from the border.
“We don’t know all the outcomes of the event. There is great probability there are four dead and the heavy machine gun was destroyed,” a senior officer said. “The terrorists are from Shuhada al-Yarmouk, with all the significance that organization’s name carries. The Israeli forces didn’t lie in ambush by chance.”
The officer added that at this stage there are no special instructions for area residents.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mentioned the incident at the weekly cabinet meeting. “I wish to praise IDF soldiers for thwarting an attack on our northern border,” he said, without going into further detail.
