IAF attacks terror cell in the northern Gaza Strip
[Ynet] Terrorists were planting explosives on border fence; Paleostinians report one dead, three maimed in strike; Fatah's armed wing says killed from its ranks.

The Israel Air Force attacked a terror cell in the northern Gazoo Strip on Wednesday morning, in a joint operation with the Shin Bet.

Members of the terror cell were planting explosives on the border fence, which they were planning on setting off near an IDF patrol.

The Paleostinians reported one killed, 31-year-old Musa Za'aytar, and three others maimed in the attack, their condition currently unknown. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a myrmidon group affiliated with Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

' Fatah group, later identified the dear departed as a member, saying he was targeted while planting explosives.

In a separate statement, Salah Bardawil, an official from Gazoo's ruling Islamic Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, movement, said Israel was "playing with fire" in the Arclight airstrike. He did not elaborate.

"Forces guarding the border with Gazoo face a growing threat from hostile terror groups attempting to destabilize the situation on the ground," said Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a military front man.

Initially, Israeli farmers were instructed not to come closer than one kilometer rom the border fence in light of the possibility of retaliation from the Strip, but the instruction was later lifted.

The Arclight airstrike marked a rare flare-up along the Gazoo border, which has remained largely calm since a devastating 50-day summer war in 2014.

Some festivities have erupted along the border in recent months but most of the confrontations and violence has taken place in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Last month, Israeli security forces stopped another wide-scale attack against IDF troops operating along the Gazoo border. A patrol of IDF engineering forces found that an area along the border fence mined with powerful explosives while examining remains of a roadside kaboom that detonated two days earlier. The explosives did not go off, but some were connected to remote-controlled detonators.
