Two civilians were killed as well. Earlier, a female suicide bomber blew herself up near troops in Beit Hanun Monday afternoon, lightly wounding a soldier, the IDF reported. Soldiers identified the bomber in time and shot her before she could come closer. The army received an intelligence warning from the Shin Bet prior to the attack.
Two gunmen were wounded as they attempted to fire Kassams, the army and PA security officials said. Palestinians managed to fire anti-tank missiles at an armored vehicle, without causing any harm, the IDF said. The attack by the female bomber was the first against the IDF since it entered Beit Hanun on Wednesday in a bid to curb the Kassam attacks. Snipers and IAF missiles have succeeded in preventing Palestinian gunmen from using shoulder-fired missiles and roadside bombs.
